Enloe Health is Chico's regional medical center: a nonprofit, locally governed 264-bed hospital at 1531 Esplanade with the only Level II Trauma Center between Sacramento and Redding, according to Enloe. It serves six counties, and it is the largest employer in Butte County.
What is Enloe Health?
Enloe is a nonprofit, locally governed health system. Dr. Newton Thomas Enloe opened Enloe Hospital in Chico in 1913, and it moved to its current Esplanade campus in 1937. The main campus is at 1531 Esplanade, Chico, CA 95926, (530) 332-7300.
What services does it offer?
Enloe lists cardiac surgery and heart care, neurosurgery, orthopedics and joint replacement, cancer care, maternity and women's services, and bariatrics. It also operates the FlightCare air ambulance service and provides care at more than 20 facilities.
How big is it?
Enloe reports a 264-bed facility, more than 3,000 staff and more than 300 physicians on its medical staff. It describes itself as the regional medical center for six counties and the largest employer in Butte County. It also says it is a Planetree Gold hospital. Those are Enloe's own statements.
Why does it matter for a move?
Healthcare access is a real part of choosing where to live. Chico homes close to the Esplanade corridor are near the main campus. Ridge communities like Paradise lost Feather River Hospital, which has permanently closed, so people there rely on Chico for hospital care. I can show homes by drive time to the campus you will use.
