Our history

Learn how our bold and pioneering approach to health care has evolved over the past 70+ years.

How it all started

Kaiser Permanente evolved from industrial health care programs for construction, shipyard, and steel mill workers for the Kaiser industrial companies during the late 1930s and 1940s. It was opened to public enrollment in July 1945.
