Philadelphia Naval Regional Medical is Badly Deteriorated and Unsafe

Abstract

Due to advanced age and inadequate repairs and maintenance, the Philadelphia Naval Regional Medical Center has deteriorated badly. As a result, the main hospital and many other buildings are unsafe. Since 1973 unsafe conditions have been reported by Navy engineers and the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals. However, the Department of the Navy has not scheduled corrective action until 1983 when a $73 million, replacement hospital is planned for the Philadelphia area.
