Kaiser Permanente Center for Total Health
700 Second St. NE
Washington, DC 20002
Directions
Kaiser Permanente encourages guests of the Center for Total Health to consider using public transportation or active forms of transportation in support of your total health. Additionally, parking is not available at the Center for Total Health, so those options may save you the headache of parking in downtown DC.
We recommend flying into Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), then riding the Metro to Union Station. See “Public Transportation” for details from Union Station.
If you are flying into Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), there is a shuttle outside baggage claim to take you to the BWI Marshall MARC/Amtrak station. After purchasing a ticket for the MARC train, you will need to use the elevator (or stairs) to cross the tracks and take the MARC train directly to Union Station. See "Public Transportation" for details from Union Station.
If you are flying into Washington Dulles Airport (IAD), take the Silver Line Express Bus to the Wiehle-Reston East Metro Station. Hop on the Metro's Silver Line, transfer at Metro Center Station to the Metro's Red Line, and take that all the way to Union Station. See "Public Transportation" for details from Union Station.
The Center for Total Health is a short walk from Union Station, accessible by Metro (Red Line), Amtrak, VRE, and MARC trains. There are two ways to get from Union Station to the Center for Total Health.
Inside
In Union Station, walk to the end of the Amtrak Gates (Gate L), and turn left to walk through the double glass doors. Follow the tunnel to the end, then turn right and take the elevators down to LL.
Step out of the elevator, and turn left. Follow the hallway to the Kaiser Permanente entrance (it will be on your right). Our security guards will be happy to direct you to the Center for Total Health.
Outside
Walk toward the Thurgood Marshall Court Building at the East end of Union Station. Take a left onto Columbus Circle Northeast. You will see a Capitol Bikeshare station and the Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as you turn left.
Follow Columbus Circle as it becomes F Street. At the next intersection (F Street NE and 2nd Street NE), turn left onto 2nd Street NE. Follow 2nd Street about 2 blocks to the farthest of three entrances to 700 2nd Street, with the Capital Bikeshare station at the front door.
The Center for Total Health is located on the southern end of the Metropolitan Branch Trail, making it a bike and pedestrian friendly spot! There are several bike racks outside of the Center for Total Health should you want to ride your own bike to see us. There is also a Capital Bikeshare station at our front door for folks using that system.
There is no parking onsite at the Center for Total Health. There are several nearby public garages, including directly across the street at 701 2nd Street NE. Union Station also has a large parking garage. Metered street parking is available in the neighborhood, though like most urban areas it can be difficult to find an open spot.
Provided below is a brief list of hotels within walking distance or a short ride to the event.
