The 47th General Hospital was a United States Army medical unit activated during World War II, originally organized at the University of Washington in Seattle. Deployed to the European Theater, the unit provided critical medical care to wounded Allied soldiers, operating hospitals in England and later in France following the D-Day invasion. The 47th General Hospital was renowned for its advanced surgical techniques and high standard of care, significantly contributing to the survival and recovery of thousands of troops. After the war, the unit was inactivated, but its legacy continued through the medical professionals who served within its ranks.
