Journey to Excellence — Kaiser Permanente Northwest Leadership Forum Grateful for the space, the conversations, and the collective commitment to excellence at the Kaiser Permanente NW Leadership Forum. This wasn’t about applause or titles—it was about clarity of purpose, alignment to our True North, and the discipline to show up every day for our members, our teams, and our communities. Excellence is personal. It’s knowing where you’re going—and choosing to show up anyway. It’s the little things that change habits, the trust in the process, and the courage to plant seeds that grow long after the moment passes. Proud of our growing partnership with RAJ Sports, as Kaiser Permanente serves as the medical provider of choice for the Portland Thorns and Portland Fire. This collaboration reflects what excellence looks like in action—supporting elite athletes, advancing wellness, and investing in our community at the highest level. Leadership reminds us that the journey is rarely loud, often challenging, and always meaningful. We’re planting seeds, setting standards, and building a legacy that extends far beyond today. Proud to stand alongside leaders who are setting the standard, chasing what’s possible, and building a future where our members live longer, healthier lives. Wendy Watson Aphriekah DuHaney-West, FACHE Twila Cain Pierce, MPH, RN Christina Forouzan Onward together. 💙 #JourneyToExcellence #Leadership #TrueNorth #ExcellenceInAction #KaiserPermanente #KPNW #CommunityPartnership #PortlandThorns #PortlandFire
