As discussed in this FastCompany article, Kaiser Permanente Santa Monica is the second medical office opened using the new design principles discussed there.

Where Kaiser Permanente Antelope Valley, which I visited later in the week, demonstrates congruence with total health in its exterior, Santa Monica does that for the interior.

You can’t see it in the photos; however, speakers in the entry area play the sounds of people and places around Santa Monica.

The colors and art are congruent with the surrounding community and sourced locally.

Thanks to Greg Saccone, MD and Kimi Petrick, MD from Southern California Medical Group, for taking the time to give us a tour.
