Kaiser Health System Deploys in Salinas, Monterey County

The new Kaiser facility on North Davis Road is expected to open in January 2025.

Eligible Salinas residents, including new and existing Covered California members, will be able to sign up for coverage when open enrollment for the state’s health care exchange begins Nov. 1. When it is offered, people can also enroll through their employer, according to a statement from Kaiser Permanente.

Kaiser Permanente already serves about 5,000 Monterey County members who currently receive care in Santa Cruz, San Jose or Gilroy, according to Kaiser Permanente’s website.

A new website, kp.org/HelloMonterey, will be used to update the community and allow residents to check if they are eligible for coverage by entering their zip code under the “Purchase Plans” tab.
