In 1938, against all advice, Cecil Cutting joined

3
00:00:32.580 --> 00:00:36.180
founding physician Sidney Garfield at Grand Coulee Dam

4
00:00:36.180 --> 00:00:38.860
in the wilds of eastern Washington state.

5
00:00:38.860 --> 00:00:42.300
With a handful of others, they put group practice,

6
00:00:42.300 --> 00:00:45.120
pre-payment, and prevention to the test  -

and profoundly affected the delivery of American medical care.

00:00:53.460 --> 00:00:55.700
Looking back this may well have been the most

10
00:00:55.700 --> 00:00:58.840
extraordinary experiment in the delivery of

11
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:00.880
health care the world's ever seen.

As Sidney Garfield said, Cec Cutting was a great

14
00:01:06.980 --> 00:01:09.520
influence on our development and operation,

15
00:01:09.520 --> 00:01:12.700
developing of our concepts as we went along.

17
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:24.160
Cecil C. Cutting was our greatest leader.

18
00:01:24.160 --> 00:01:28.960
It was his wisdom, patience, and quiet steady leadership

19
00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:33.060
that brought our organization to the great, stable,

20
00:01:33.060 --> 00:01:37.600
prosperous health care program that it is today.

21
00:01:39.800 --> 00:01:42.100
The amazing part of Dr. Cutting is what

22
00:01:42.100 --> 00:01:44.340
a tremendous partner he was for Dr. Garfield.

24
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:50.940
It was Dr. Cutting who organized the medical staff,

25
00:01:50.940 --> 00:01:53.280
who organized the delivery of care, who actually

26
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:55.540
made certain that the information technology

27
00:01:55.540 --> 00:01:57.620
systems were put into place.

29
00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:03.240
He was the person who took the vision and

30
00:02:03.240 --> 00:02:04.520
made it into reality.
