Mechanicsburg renewal deepens NovaCare link with Eagles
Select Medical and the Philadelphia Eagles announce a multi‑year extension of a 25‑year partnership that keeps NovaCare Rehabilitation as the team’s Official Physical Therapy Partner, the companies say. The agreement, unveiled on Feb. 17 in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, preserves a quarter‑century founding relationship and broadens NovaCare’s role as a presenting sponsor of fan content across the Eagles’ digital platforms, including sweepstakes, post‑game locker‑room victory speeches, gameday push notifications and banner advertising.
Expanded in‑stadium and community activation
Under the renewed deal NovaCare also gains increased in‑stadium visibility with additional radio spots, placement on end zone videoboards, and rotating LED and traditional signage throughout Lincoln Financial Field during home games. Company executives frame the extension as both a marketing and community engagement move: Ray Pennacchia, senior vice president of NovaCare Rehabilitation, and Brian Napoli, senior vice president of corporate partnerships for the Eagles, emphasize the partnership’s longevity and shared focus on local outreach, including continued involvement in the Eagles Autism Challenge and other community programs.
The partnership also aims to leverage Select Medical’s clinical footprint to support athletes and fans alike. Select Medical positions the extension as an opportunity to deepen fan engagement and increase NovaCare brand visibility while drawing on the company’s nationwide network of hospitals and outpatient clinics to provide specialized rehabilitation resources for players and the region’s patient population.
Company footprint and service network
Select Medical highlights its scale in the announcement: as of Dec. 31, 2025 it operates 104 critical illness recovery hospitals across 28 states, 38 rehabilitation hospitals in 15 states, and 1,917 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in 39 states and the District of Columbia. NovaCare Rehabilitation comprises 440 physical therapy centers nationwide, including roughly 150 locations in the Delaware Valley that serve Philadelphia Eagles fans.
