George Halvorson (born January 28, 1947) is a retired American healthcare executive who served as CEO of Kaiser Permanente. He is the Chair and CEO of the Institute for InterGroup Understanding. Halvorson is a long-time American healthcare executive who served as Kaiser Permanente CEO and chairman from 2002 to 2014 before retiring as CEO in 2013 and chair in January 2014. Halvorson was CEO of HealthPartners in Minnesota for 17 years before going to Kaiser Permanente. Halvorson is the Chair of the First 5 California Commission for children and families. Governor Brown appointed Halvorson to a four-year term as Chair. The Commission uses money raised from tobacco taxes to provide support and education to children in California from birth to five years old. Halvorson has been the Chair and CEO of the Institute for InterGroup Understanding since June 2012. The institute works on issues of racism, prejudice, discrimination and intergroup stress and conflict. Halvorson has published nine books on health care reform including Health Care Co-Ops in Uganda with the most recent being Ending Racial, Ethnic and Cultural Disparities in American Health Care. Halvorson has also published four books on instinctive interactions for groups of people: Primal Pathways, The Cusp of Chaos, The Art of InterGroup Peace, Peace in Our Time, and one book on early childhood brain development, Three Key Years. Halvorson was chair of the health governors at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The Institute for InterGroup Understanding exists to help create intergroup Peace. We need to intellectually overcome our more negative and damaging instinctive behaviors. We instinctively divide the world into "Us" and "Them" â" and we react very differently to "Us" versus how we react to "Them." We protect, defend, accept, and support "Us" â" and we dislike, distrust, attack, and damage "Them." Those instincts have great power in shaping our lives. They have had paramount impact on our history â" causing us to 'become who we are' and 'do what we do,' in ways we rarely understand. Understanding those instincts gives us great power over them. We need that power over those instincts, and we need it now, to create Peace in our world. OUR MISSION: Teach people how to take advantage and build on the best features of being "Us" â" and prevent the worst features of being "Them" â" in every setting in America. Our mission is to help every child in America receive the full benefits of early childhood support so that all groups can prosper, and realize the American Dream. OUR PHILOSOPHY: Make enlightened, ethical, informed, and accountable decisions within our own lives, our InterGroup and interpersonal interactions with other people, and everywhere within the world around us. Knowledge is Power. Knowing 'who' we are enables accountable actions, and allows us to use that knowledge as a tool and an intellectual understanding. We believe understanding what our newborn children need in their first years of life â" to achieve safe and productive lives â" creates a collective and ethical obligation for all of us to help each child from every ethnic, economic, cultural, and racial group in America.
