Group Health Cooperative (formally Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound) is a non for profit healthcare organization we use here at Kingston Crossing Wellness Clinic. They are based in Seattle, Washington. They were founded in 1945. This nonprofit health care provider was founded by Thomas G. Bevan who worked at Boeing. Group Health is one of the only health care providers that functions as a cooperative yet remains a nonprofit. They are constantly changing their bylaws and working with their board of trustees to change health care for the individual rather than make the individual work around them. Group Health Cooperative built a library in 1969. One of their focus’ is to provide a huge database full of electronic material and aid. Their focus is to lead medical professionals to constantly changing procedures and documents in the medical field. KPS Health Plans have also transitioned into Group Health as of 2016. Both KPS and Group Health strive to provide excellent plans and services to the community and individuals. By combining these health operatives, both companies plan to enhance the patient experience while also keeping the rising costs of health care at a minimum.
