Providing a real Public Serive unlike most of Corporate America. MD's (and I'm sure the other Health Professionals too) really take their jobs seriously and working hard for their patients

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

KP is a great company to work for. Employees have a clearly defined career path and have the opportunity to pick new skills.

Cons

As with any large organization, KP does have some opportunities for improvement. The organization should make the mid-senior managers more accountable - Currently that is lacking.
