Kaiser, Don't Deny
Patients need access to consistent, reliable mental health services
Elizabeth's Story
After struggling for more than a year to get mental healthcare from Kaiser Permanente, Elizabeth Morgan Brown took her life at the age of 19.
ELIZABETH BROWN
“When Elizabeth said she thought she needed to see a therapist, we immediately went to Kaiser, and the battle to provide care for our daughter began.”
PETER KINGSTON
“If Peter’s depression had been treated with the same level of care as his heart palpitations, he would still be alive today.”
BRENNEN SMITH
“Brennen had to wait 29 days for an appointment with Kaiser. It was easier for him to get a gun than to access Kaiser mental health services.”
