'''Henry J. Kaiser''' (May 9, 1882-August 24, 1967) was a prominent [[American]] industrialist known as the father of modern shipbuilding. His concepts are still widely used today by almost all shipyards. During [[World War II]], Kaiser's yards constructed more than 1,500 cargo ships.

Kaiser made significant contributions to the automobile industry with Kaiser-Frazer Corporation cars. As an industrialist, Kaiser was the founder of the affiliated Kaiser Companies.

As a builder, he constructed roads, dams, tunnels, ships and a dozen industries in a half century. As the founder of a medical care program ( Kaiser-Permanente Health), he worked with partnerships of physicians, built hospitals and clinics, established a nursing school and contributed to medical education. His ideas were the foundation of all modern-day Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO's).[http://www.kff.org/]
