PASADENA — Kaiser Permanente (which operates Community Memorial Hospital in Ventura) has announced its 2025 Rose Parade® float theme, “More Healthy Days for More Healthy Years.” The theme represents Kaiser Permanente’s belief that everyone should have the opportunity to live their best, healthiest life every day. The float celebrates total health – body, mind, and spirit – and how Kaiser Permanente supports the health and wellbeing of its members and communities.
This year, Kaiser Permanente’s 19th annual float entry embodies the 2025 Rose Parade presented by Honda theme, “Best Day Ever,” celebrating life’s best moments. The float symbolizes a day of healthy living, featuring a sun at one end and a moon at the other, with various healthy activities in between. The float includes depictions of nutritious foods, physical activity, and mental wellness for people of all ages and abilities.
The float also features Kaiser Permanente members, care teams, and community partners standing and walking alongside the float. Many have inspiring stories of how the “best day ever” is possible when physical, emotional, and mental health are aligned. Float participants will be announced in December.
“Kaiser Permanente is privileged to serve our members, patients, and communities, and we are unwavering in our dedication to their total health and wellbeing,” said Greg A. Adams, chair and chief executive officer, Kaiser Permanente. “Our commitment to helping people live long, healthy, active lives is built on our 80-year history of providing high-quality and affordable health care and coverage and our focus on improving physical, mental, and social health.”
