A Century of Care
Dr. Newton Thomas Enloe opened Enloe Hospital in 1913 after migrating to Northern California from Missouri. The original hospital was located at 330 Flume St. in Chico. It moved to its current location on The Esplanade in 1937.
Dr. Enloe invested his life in the North Valley making sure residents received excellent medical care.
Today, Enloe Medical Center is the region’s most comprehensive medical center and one of the few hospitals in California still locally governed.
Convenient Location

Nestled on the tree-lined streets of Chico near Highway 99, Enloe is easily accessible for residents throughout the North State.
We work hard to improve the health of our communities and have added new clinics and affiliated medical providers to better serve our region.
Today, we see patients in more than 20 facilities.
Comprehensive Services
As the largest employer in Butte County, Enloe employs more than 3,000 dedicated staff and has more than 300 physicians on our medical staff. Our caregivers offer an increasingly wide range of services and treatments to keep our communities healthy.
The ‘Local’ Factor

Enloe Medical Center is one of the few California hospitals still locally governed. The hospital’s community-based, volunteer Board of Trustees protects this local status. They ensure that dollars earned are reinvested to improve the health of the community.
The idea of “local” is built into everything we offer — from the food we serve in our café to the classes and support groups that meet in our facilities.
Compassionate Care
Enloe is committed to providing a nurturing environment that promotes healing of the body, mind and spirit.
We surround patients with caring staff and supportive resources to help them take charge of their health.
As a Planetree organization, Enloe aims to personalize, demystify and humanize health care. Learn about Planetree at Enloe.
