Caring For the Workers
This medical facility was used for treating minor injuries and ailments of shipyard workers. It served as the first tier of a pre-paid, three-part system developed by Kaiser Permanente for the benefit of shipyard workers. The system survived after WWII, thanks in part to continued participation by members of the International Longshore Workers Union (ILWU).
Note: This building is viewable from the outside only, as part of your visit to Shipyard, No. 3.
