Hospital officials celebrated the reopening of the gymnasium Dec. 2 with the Penguins after receiving a grant from the team’s foundation, according to the story.

“The idea was that we need to have an area where patients, while they’re in the hospital, could workout, could do aerobic exercise, listen to music, or play volleyball or basketball,” Ken Nash, MD, chief of clinical services for UPMC Western Psychiatric, told the news outlet. “It also decreases the stigma, that the Penguins would help support this.”
