The gold disc bearing the blue fleur-de-lis symbolizes the unit's service in the European-African-Middle Eastern Theater, World War II. The Greek cross, a symbol of aid and assistance, represents the 94th General Hospital. The cross of St. George is used here to symbolize the unit's station in England, World War II. The blue field with the single white star refers to Texas, where the organization was originally activated and is currently located. Maroon and white are the colors used for the Army Medical Department.
