PRIOR MANAGERIAL-LEVEL WORK EXPERIENCE NEEDED

Stepping into a leadership role in radiology and imaging at Kaiser Permanente Washington means joining an organization known for innovation, integrated care, and a deep commitment to community health. Choosing Olympia as the place to build that next chapter elevates the opportunity even further. As Washington-s capital city, Olympia blends the influence of statewide healthcare policy with the warmth of a close-knit, patient-centered community-creating an ideal environment for healthcare leaders who want to make a meaningful impact.

Olympia offers a balanced lifestyle that supports both professional excellence and personal well-being. Healthcare professionals are drawn to its strong regional medical network, collaborative culture, and the chance to shape care delivery in a growing and diverse population. Outside of work, residents enjoy a vibrant arts scene, excellent schools, and easy access to the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest-from Puget Sound waterfronts to the trails of the Olympic National Forest. The cost of living remains more approachable than larger Washington cities, while still offering the amenities, culture, and career opportunities of a thriving region.
