Peter Parker (1804-1888), a Yale University--trained missionary and physician, founded the first Western-style hospital in China, the Ophthalmic Hospital in Canton (now known as Guangzhou), on November 4, 1835. During its first 3 months, Parker treated 1061 patients, of whom 1020 (96.1%) had ocular illnesses. Since then, the Ophthalmic Hospital in Canton has become a comprehensive institution that is affiliated with Sun Yat-sen University and is one of the largest hospitals in China. In 1965, the Department of Ophthalmology, which originally employed only 2 ophthalmologists, expanded to become an ophthalmic hospital. In 1983, it joined the Eye Research Institute and the Office of Prevention of Blindness to form the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center. The center currently employs nearly 800 staff members and provides care to more than 500 000 patients annually. The first Western-style hospital in China has survived and thrived; it is now one of the most prestigious ophthalmic institutes in the world.
彼得·帕克（1804 - 1888），一位毕业于耶鲁大学的传教士兼医生，于1835年11月4日在中国创办了第一家西式医院——广州眼科医院（现称广州）。在其开业的头三个月里，帕克治疗了1061名患者，其中1020名（96.1%）患有眼部疾病。从那时起，广州眼科医院已发展成为一所综合性机构，隶属于中山大学，是中国最大的医院之一。1965年，最初仅有两名眼科医生的眼科科室扩展成为一家眼科医院。1983年，它与眼科研究所及防盲办公室合并，组建了中山眼科中心。该中心目前拥有近800名员工，每年为超过50万名患者提供医疗服务。中国的第一家西式医院历经风雨，蓬勃发展；如今它已成为世界上最负盛名的眼科机构之一。
