The Panorama City Hospital in Southern California was built in 1962 and featured two circular towers. Within the towers, the concept of circles of service was born. Later Kaiser Permanente hospitals retained the basic design but the binocular towers were enclosed in rectangles. In 1942, Henry Kaiser built a steel mill in Fontana to supply steel for the ships he was building to help America win the war. When he learned that his workers couldn’t get adequate health care, he built a hospital and medical offices right on the steel mill grounds. It was the first Kaiser Permanente facility in Southern California. The name Permanente came from Permanente Creek, which ran by Henry Kaisers first cement plant on Black Mountain in Cupertino, California.
