3rd General Hospital

The 3rd General Hospital was a U.S. Army medical unit originally organized during World War I, primarily staffed by personnel from Columbia University and Presbyterian Hospital in New York. Reactivated for World War II, the unit was deployed to the European Theater, where it provided crucial medical care to wounded Allied soldiers following the D-Day invasions. Stationed in locations such as England and later France, the 3rd General Hospital treated thousands of casualties, playing a vital role in the success of Allied medical operations. Its legacy is marked by professionalism, innovation in battlefield medicine, and a commitment to saving lives under challenging conditions.
