Kaiser Permanente and Renown Health announced their agreement to jointly own and operate a health plan and outpatient care delivery system that will bring Kaiser Permanente to northern Nevada beginning in 2026. Pending regulatory approval, Kaiser Permanente Nevada will offer health plan coverage to employers and the people of northern Nevada starting with open enrollment in 2026.
Kaiser Permanente Nevada plans to open a multispecialty ambulatory health system with convenient locations in central and northern Reno. Members and patients will access multispecialty care, diagnostic, pharmacy and ancillary services at these locations and at the existing Del Monte Senior Care Plus Clinic in Reno.
Renown Health has owned and operated Hometown Health since 1988. Renown Health will continue to operate as an independent nonprofit organization and health system and will continue to accept all current health insurance plans for patient care.
Through this agreement, Kaiser Permanente and Renown Health will enter into a joint venture. Kaiser Permanente will acquire a majority interest in Hometown Health. There are no immediate changes to Hometown Health/Senior Care Plus plans, networks or points of contact. The transaction is anticipated to close in early 2026 following required regulatory approvals.
Renown Health is the largest, locally governed, not-for-profit integrated academic health care network serving Nevada, Lake Tahoe, and northeast California. The organization comprises a trauma center, two acute care hospitals, a children’s hospital, a rehabilitation hospital, a medical group and urgent care network, and the locally owned not-for-profit insurance company, Hometown Health.
Founded in 1945, Kaiser Permanente has a mission to provide high-quality, affordable health care services and to improve the health of our members and the communities we serve. It currently serves 12.6 million members in 8 states and the District of Columbia.
