Kaiser Permanente Georgia, a branch of the Oakland, Calif.-based healthcare giant, plans to open a 157,000-square-foot information technology campus in midtown Atlanta, creating 900 jobs in health IT by 2019.
The leased space will be part of Atlanta's Pershing Point Plaza complex and will include IT professionals working on cybersecurity, mobile application development, telehealth services and support of Kaiser's HealthConnect electronic health-record system.
The project is supported by incentives from the state and the city of Atlanta, said Larry Panatera, a Kaiser Permanente Georgia vice president.
