Concrete company name or medical name?
If you didn’t know better, or if you knew old business names, you might think that Kaiser Permanente is a great name for a concrete company. And you wouldn’t be far off the mark, if you check the history of this name. They save the headache of its length by having KP.org as their website.
But actually it is the name of one of the few (and certainly the largest) full service medical aid companies in the country. The big strong name is now used to compete with Blue Cross, Blue Shield and numerous other medical insurance groups across California, the difference being Kaiser has their own hospitals, clinics, labs, pharmacies and doctors, all connected with full electronic patient records.
I recently moved hundreds of miles, yet I can order my prescriptions online, see all the history of my lab tests for years, and my new doctor in a different Kaiser has all my history on his computer too. This is how medical should be done in the USA. Only big pity is that at my age it costs me more than my rent!
Regardless, names come from many sources. Why doesn’t your company post a little story online about its name origin?
