75 future healthcare professionals showed up at Las Positas College on March 24th, 2025 to connect with local Kaiser Permanente healthcare professionals and to learn about the rapidly increasing demand for healthcare workers in the Tri-Valley region. Through a partnership between Kaiser Permanente, Innovation Tri-Valley Leadership Group,  the Bay Area K-16 Collaborative and Las Positas College, local students pursuing healthcare pathways were able to meet and engage with Kaiser Permanente leaders in Administration, Nursing, Physical Therapy and Mental Health. Special thanks to Innovation Tri-Valley Executive Board Member and Kaiser Permanente Senior Vice President & Area Manager – Diablo Valley Service Area, Pam Galley for leading the event by sharing her own inspirational journey through community college to becoming an RN to eventually serving as the primary chief administrator for Kaiser Permanente’s largest Northern California service area.
