Hi Didier

I don't believe this is American military , it might be from a civilian institution.

The emblem came into being in 1902 to represent the US Army Medical Department , however the design was adopted by many medical institutions ,military and civilian from the 1920's onwards.

Can you post an image of the reverse.

regards

Phill
