Maroon and white are the colors for the Army Medical Department. The cross and rays symbolize the Hospital’s function of providing medical care, and the annulet, with rays for spokes, suggest part of a wheel in reference to the unit’s former mission as an Evacuation Hospital. The color green denotes health and life, and the waterfall indicates the unit’s location in Niagara Falls, New York. | |||
