Group Health is a long-standing, much respected member of the Seattle area medical establishment. They have a long history of collaborating with the University of Washington Medical School on research, many of their docs are clinical faculty at the school, and they serve as a site for many doctoral residency programs. They are very active in the community, sponsoring health fairs and exercise and sporting events such as marathons and 5ks. I'm a little prejudiced, or maybe just know too much, but my son-in-law is a physician assistant in surgery there - he loves being on staff!

I think it is in their best interest to monitor what patients are saying about them publicly - also smart. They've long been perceived as being a progressive organization - I'll bet they are learning a lot!
