Quote from the episode:

“What we do as an organization is health and wellness, and not just the fitness center, but things like sitting on a park bench and just taking in nature, or biking or walking on the trails, or taking a woodworking class. We try to create as many opportunities as we can for people to be healthier.” – Ray McGury
