Who We Are
We are the 1800 Local 5 health care workers at Kaiser Permanente. The jobs we perform are diverse, covering hundreds of titles including medical assistants, licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants, ward clerks, housekeepers, emergency department techs, surgical techs, opticians, pharmacy techs, receptionists, transporters, dietician aides, maintenance techs, and patient accounting representatives to name just a few.
We are the people who take your pulse, give you a flu shot, make your appointment, clean your room, deliver your meal, assist physicians in many procedures and tests as well as get you to where you need to go. We are often the first and last person you see when visiting our clinics and hospital. We are proud of our commitment to serving the health care needs of the people of Hawaii and we are proud of being a part of Local 5 and Kaiser Permanente.
