SONNET: Who We Are

Meet the hearts and minds behind SONNET

We are a network of researchers and operational leaders who work together to advance Kaiser Permanente’s Social Health Practice (SHP) objectives and improve our members’ social health

SONNET supports Kaiser Permanente's social health initiatives by contributing expertise in the measurement of social needs and intervention outcomes, partner and community engagement, intervention design, program evaluation, and advanced analytics. Our work is led by our Coordinating Center and our executive sponsors, who work in closer partnership with Kaiser Permanente operational leaders to inform SHP's strategic decisions.
