Please See All Photos In his narrative covering six decades of Kaiser Permanente Northwest history, MacMillan exploits the opportunity to tell the stories of physicians and others in both major and minor roles. Testament to his broad curiosity, he enriches his archive with historical detail and context. Permanente in the Northwest relates through small stories how a change in financing medical care, implemented 60 years ago, created a rationale, and drove physicians to collaborate to deliver care to a population that included both the sick and the well. In telling this story, MacMillan has made the book relevant not only to past and present physicians who will find their names in the text, but also to the current national discussion of health care reform.
