That slick site you now see west of Broad Street on Pattison Avenue wasn’t always a practice facility for the Philadelphia Eagles. What’s now known as the “Novacare Complex” (corporations get to buy their way into naming just about everything sports-related these days) was once the Philadelphia Naval Hospital. Younger area residents will remember it as an old building that seemed to stand vacant, gathering cobwebs and dust. But for us who have a few years behind us, we know that it was a premier facility for treating troops of every military service, especially during the Vietnam War. This hospital had one of the top programs for prosthetic limbs nationwide, and some of the top surgeons in that field. Today, it’s just a memory.
