Hank is an award-winning journal named in honor of Kaiser Permanente's visionary co-founder and innovator, Henry J. Kaiser.

Hank's mission: Highlight the successes and struggles of Kaiser Permanente's Labor Management Partnership, which has been recognized as a model operating strategy for health care.

Hank is published quarterly for the Partnership's 120,000 workers, managers, physicians, and dentists. All of them are working to make KP the best place to receive care and the best place to work—and in the process are making health care history. That's what Henry Kaiser had in mind from the start.
