Daily News | Jeff Hartzell, longtime physician, hospice care pioneer, and former Flyers team doctor, has died at 93
Jeff Hartzell, 93, of Merion, longtime physician at Pennsylvania Hospital, hospice-care pioneer, Flyers team doctor for two decades, and adventurer, died Thursday, Oct. 13, of heart disease at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
He was also the longtime alternate physician and traveled overseas with the Philadelphia Orchestra. Former patients greeted him and his family practically everywhere, and his daughter, Jane Hartzell, credited that to his “exquisite human sensitivity and ability to key in on what ails someone, what their principal source of suffering is.”
Smart and discreet, he worked overseas for the CIA after college to fulfill his military obligation in the 1950s. He was a lifelong wilderness canoe-trip enthusiast who, along with his brother, Frank, and boyhood friend Bart Harrison, bought a small fishing lodge and spent countless days with family and friends over six decades at Camp Wabun and on Lake Temagami in northern Ontario, Canada.Born Sept.
