Roberts Memorial Hospital was a mission hospital established by the London Missionary Society in T'sangchou, China in 1903.[1]

The hospital was supposed to open in 1899, but it sustained damage during the Boxer Rebellion.[2][3]

It was named after Dr. Fred C. Roberts, a London Missionary Society missionary who led the Tientsin Mission Hospital and Dispensary 1888 until his death in 1894.[4] Brothers and medical missionaries Dr. Arthur Davies Peill and Dr. Sidney George Peill were among the hospitals first staff members.[3]
