Back to Health Dashboard- In memoriam: Remembering and reflecting on a pioneering physician from Kaiser Permanente Northwest.
- Kaiser-Frazer automobiles pioneered and embraced safety engineering designs for affordable cars after World War II.
- Henry J. Kaiser's wife, Bess, admired the creek and its name, leading Kaiser and Dr. Sidney Garfield to use the name Permanente.
- Dr. Cecil Cutting and nurse Millie Cutting were among the first medical staff at the Grand Coulee Dam worksite and the Richmond shipyards.
- Garfield’s design of ‘dream hospital’ features unconventional and efficient layout.
- The end of the war and the return to peacetime allowed Henry J. Kaiser and Dr. Sidney R. Garfield to introduce a revolutionary model of care to Americans.
- Since World War II, Kaiser Permanente's health program introduced Americans to innovative preventive medical care and health education.
- In 1953, Henry J. Kaiser bought Willys Overland, maker of the Jeep during World war II and introduced Americans to the SUV-like Jeep Wagoneer.
