Wikipedia summary Kaiser Permanente is an American integrated managed care consortium headquartered in Oakland, CA. Founded in 1945 by industrialist Henry J. Kaiser and physician Sidney R. Garfield, the organization was initially established to provide medical services at Kaiser's shipyards, steel mills, and other facilities, before being opened to the general public. Kaiser Permanente operates as a consortium comprising three distinct but interdependent entities: 1) the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) and its regional subsidiaries, 2) Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, and the 3) regional Permanente Medical Groups. Kaiser is in eight states, California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Oregon, Virginia, and Washington, as well as the District of Columbia, and is the largest managed care organization in the US. Consortium The word "consortium" originates from the Latin word consors, meaning partner or sharing in property. The word itself is derived from con- (together) and sors (fate), suggesting a shared destiny or purpose. A consortium is a partnership or association where members pool resources to achieve a common goal.
