XXMU, with a history of nearly 100 years, can be dated back to the Western Medicine Clinic opened by a British, Lohyde, in 1896 in Weihui City. In 1903, on the basis of the Clinic, a Canadian missionary made it into a hospital named as Boji Hospital, which was renamed as Huimin Hospital after expansion in 1920.
