Kaiser Foundation Hospital

More than 50 years ago, industrialist Henry Kaiser asked Dr. Sidney Garfield to provide quality health care to the Kaiser shipyard and steel workers. To this day, Kaiser Permanente remains a physician-driven health care organization dedicated to patients, not profits.

From its Depression-era beginnings in a 12-bed wood frame hospital in the middle of the California desert, Kaiser Permanente has grown into the world's oldest and one of the largest private non-profit integrated health systems. Today it serves 8.1 million members in 9 states and the District of Columbia. Its largest division is California, with more than 5 million members.
