About Northern California
Northern California encompasses a vast and diverse area with vibrant metropolitan cities and beautiful natural surroundings.  Its sophisticated yet laid-back ambience offers urban and suburban lifestyles, enhanced by world-class museums, concert halls, renowned eateries, and a large spectrum of sports, entertainment, and recreational activities. 

You are a short drive from ski slopes, hiking trails, beaches, and national parks, including majestic Lake Tahoe, gorgeous Point Reyes Seashore, Yosemite National Park, and Muir Woods (home to one of the largest redwood groves).  Among the area’s most popular tourist attractions are the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco; the Napa and Sonoma Valley vineyards and their award-winning wines; and the State Capitol, Sacramento.  In addition, many top-rated universities are located in Northern California, including Stanford University and the University of California campuses San Francisco (UCSF), Berkeley (UCB), and Davis (UCD).

Against this backdrop, Kaiser Permanente has a strong presence with medical offices as far south as Gilroy, as far north as Santa Rosa, and as far east as Fresno.
