About The Company
Practice Medicine the Way It Was Meant to Be. At Southern California Permanente Medical Group (SCPMG), physicians lead, innovate, and thrive. In partnership with Kaiser Foundation Health Plan and Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, SCPMG is transforming healthcare through Permanente Medicine, a model built on five core principles: physician-led, patient-centered, evidence-based, team-delivered, and technology-enabled care. As a physician-led medical group, our physicians shape the strategic direction of the organization and influence the day-to-day practice of medicine. Clinical decisions are made by physicians, creating an environment where your expertise, voice, and leadership matter. Our patient-centered approach drives everything we do. Supported by evidence-based medicine, integrated care teams, and advanced technology, physicians can focus on delivering exceptional care while building meaningful relationships with patients and colleagues. Through seamless collaboration across specialties, our physicians have access to the resources and support needed to achieve the best possible outcomes. The SCPMG care model fosters a culture of partnership, innovation, and continuous learning. Physicians work alongside highly skilled colleagues across virtually every specialty and subspecialty, creating opportunities for mentorship, professional growth, and leadership development. As part of Kaiser Permanente, physicians benefit from a coordinated care delivery system that reduces administrative complexity and enables them to focus on what matters most: their patients. We invest in our physicians through continuing education, leadership programs, technology support, and a nationally recognized Physician Wellness Program. For more than 60 years, SCPMG has delivered high-quality, innovative care across Southern California.

Our leadership is dedicated to accessibility and a flat hierarchy, building trust between physicians and ancillary staff.

At the same time, wellness—both physical and mental—is emphasized, with regular opportunities to dine out, socialize, and exercise together. With a high level of tertiary care, one of the region’s largest NICU’s, and an OB and anesthesia staff comprised of full physicians, Downey delivers exemplary service to its diverse, high-risk-profile patient population.
