Borden Memorial Hospital

Gansu, People's Republic of China

Borden Memorial Hospital was a hospital in Lanzhou, Gansu, China from 1918 to 1951. It was founded by the China Inland Mission (CIM) with money donated by the Borden family after the death of William Whiting Borden. Borden had meant to come to China as a missionary, but died in Cairo, Egypt while studying Arabic to prepare himself to serve the Muslims of China. The hospital was handed over to the Chinese government in 1951.
