Company History
A passion for medicine and quality care led a young physician to migrate West, where in 1913, Dr. Newton Thomas Enloe opened the original Enloe Hospital. The hospital was located on Flume Street in Chico (see photo at right). In 1937, the hospital opened in its existing location on the Esplanade. Dr. Enloe (see photo below, circa 1918) spent a lifetime assuring North Valley residents received quality medical care.
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.
We welcome you to Enloe -- a place where employees, volunteers and physicians collaborate to improve the quality of your life through-patient centered care.
