The 217th Evacuation Hospital was a U.S. Army medical unit activated during World War II. It was deployed to the European Theater, landing in Normandy shortly after D-Day in June 1944. The hospital provided critical medical care to wounded soldiers as the front lines advanced across France, Belgium, and into Germany. Following VE Day, the 217th continued its service by treating liberated prisoners and displaced persons before being deactivated after the war.
