Permanente Medicine was founded in the 1930s by Sidney Garfield M.D. The young physician had a vision for an independent, self-governing medical group that would bring comprehensive care to aqueduct laborers across the Mojave Desert. The group’s indomitable spirit and record of quality, affordable care soon made them indispensable to industrial workers throughout the West Coast. That same innovative, pioneering spirit that created Permanente Medicine continues to be one of our central guiding principles today.
