Former Enze Hospital, Historical medical site in Zhejiang, China.

The Former Enze Hospital at 43 Wangtian Tai, at the foot of Beigu Hill, consists of three two-story Western-style buildings linked by covered bridges, covering 917.6 square meters. The south-facing main building has eight bays, a red wooden balcony with railings on its upper floor, and an arched central door inscribed with "恩泽医局". Two three-bay annexes stand to the southwest, one with Roman-style plasterwork.

The Anglican Church founded the Enze Medical Bureau in 1901, making it Taizhou's first Western-medicine hospital. Missionary Bai Mingdeng ran it until it closed in 1919; in 1933 Chen Shengji bought it at auction, renamed it Enze Hospital and wrote its rules. After the 1942 Doolittle Raid, five injured US airmen were treated here, and pilot Ted Lawson's leg was amputated. The Chen family donated the hospital to the government, and in 1951 it merged with Taizhou Hospital.

The name Enze was chosen by Chen Shengji when he bought the auctioned mission hospital in 1933 and reopened it as the Enze Hospital. Its rules set out separate arrangements for outpatient visits, house calls and inpatient care. Since 2011 the buildings have housed the hospital's history museum, with displays on the 1942 rescue of Doolittle Raid airmen.

The site is at 43 Wangtiantai, at the foot of Beigu Hill in Linhai. The three surviving two-storey buildings are linked by covered bridges, so you pass between them without going outdoors. The main building faces south, with the exhibition rooms on the ground floor and former wards above.

The building is the only surviving one of three modern hospitals the Anglican Church ran in Zhejiang, alongside Hangzhou's Guangji Hospital and Ningbo's Renze Hospital. Its upper floor served as the inpatient department, while the ground-floor rooms on either side of the entrance hall were outpatient clinics.
