No really it does. All that negative messaging
soaks into our skin like toxic radiation. How do
you get rid of it? Easy. Visit outlive.ca for the

26. Help Kaiser Permanente
become a leader in providing
Trans*-inclusive care.
Kaiser Permanente is looking at
transgender, gender-expansive,
and gender non-conforming
person care in a new way, and
we want to partner with you
to create high quality care that
meets you where you’re at.
We are starting an exciting
project that will provide insight
directly to our nurses, doctors,
leaders, and staff to inspire us to
focus on your total health, so you
can focus on a great life. We are
not just looking to provide the
best clinical care possible,
we want to understand and
address your needs, goals, and
what makes you tick.
We are looking for people who
would be interested in any of
the following opportunities. We
are able to offer honorariums for
your participation, and we ensure
the privacy and confidentiality
of what is shared in a safe,
comfortable environment for
you. We treat everything you
share with us with confidentiality,
respect, and empathy.
We are interested in:
• Meeting trans-identified, gender-expansive,
and gender non-conforming people who are,
or have been, Kaiser Permenente members.
• Interviewing you in your home or another
comfortable place for 2-3 hours.
• Interviewing you along with a close
friend or family member so that you can
both provide your perspectives together.
• Learning what it’s like to be you by
shadowing you through part of your day.
• Seeing Kaiser Permenente from your
perspective by shadowing you on a visit.
Who are we? We are the Innovation Consultancy
at Kaiser Permanente. We work with people in
a human-centered, empathic way to understand
their experiences and design new and better
ways for Kaiser Permanente to meet their health
and wellness goals and needs.
Here are the tentative dates for our fieldwork.
If you can’t do these dates, we can be flexible:
February 24-27, March 10-13, March 17-20
