Kaiser Permanente Corporate Office

Kaiser Permanente

Kaiser Permanente’s history dates back to 1933 in California when Kaiser and several other large construction contractors had formed an insurance consortium called Industrial Indemnity to meet worker compensation claims.

The company grew quickly by insuring large groups of construction workers doing work in the region.

Today Kaiser Permanente is an integrated managed care consortium made up of three distinct entities: the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, and the autonomous regional Permanente Medical Groups.
