History

Nearly a century ago, a passion for medicine and quality care led a young physician to migrate West, where in 1913, Dr. N.T. Enloe opened the original Enloe Hospital. The hospital was located on Flume Street in Chico. In 1937, the hospital opened in its existing location on the Esplanade in Chico. Enloe spent a lifetime assuring North Valley residents received quality care, close to home.

Today, that vision continues. Through the excellence of our employees and medical staff, Enloe Medical Center has grown to become the region's most comprehensive medical center, and one of the few hospital organizations of its size in California still locally governed. As a non-profit organization, our volunteer community board zealously protects Enloe's local status and assures that dollars earned are reinvested to improve the health of our community.

We welcome you to Enloe -- a place where employees, volunteers and physicians collaborate to create an environment of compassion, humanity and care for the community we serve.
