Older retired “Groupies”
Senior Caucus is not part of the Retired Medical Retirees Group. However ARMS supports access of Kaiser members to timely topics important to Seniors and a link is provided for access to these talks. Caucus membership is open to all adults who receive their health care at Kaiser Permanente, but it is particularly relevant to those aged 60 years and older. There are no fees or dues associated with membership. Currently all meetings are online.
