My role as a head athletic trainer for three decades has been to seek out the best possible healthcare specialists in the world for the benefit of our players. We have also done a tremendous amount of research, and implemented new ideas in training, rehabilitation and injury prevention and we keep working on that. The Giants organization has always been focused with providing our players with the very best healthcare possible. All this as it relates to sports performance, and the health and safety of our players.
And I call it a healthcare system because our owner John Mara has said many times, "Ronnie, you've got more physicians than some small nations." This all started with a call from Quest Diagnostics after they had read an article about the Giants being involved in implementing new and emerging technologies. I welcome Quest as the newest member of the New York Giants healthcare system. It's my pleasure to welcome our new partner, Quest Diagnostics. But we're finally here, and we're happy to be here with our partners. GIANTS SVP OF MEDICAL SERVICES RONNIE BARNES Barnes: Well we've been working on this for a year, and I've been anxious to start this press conference, but we had to delay it because of the U.K. We thank Quest for sharing our vision and our values and we're thrilled to become your partner today and for many years to come. Even more compelling, they convinced me to put a green colored logo on our building. They convinced us of their ability to help our players achieve better health. I have been very impressed by how accomplished and persuasive their executives are. We're very excited and proud to be partnering with a quality organization like Quest. We see our relationship with Quest as the next step in this process of improving the health of our players, not only during their careers but after their careers are over. Player health and safety has been of paramount importance for our league and for this franchise for many years. Each year, a select group of Giants players will be given the opportunity to volunteer to work with Quest in developing these models and tests. Quest will offer these services through its newly formed sports diagnostic business. Our aim is to assist Quest in identifying and developing models and tests to help determine peak performance, provide meaningful training insights, reduce injuries and improve players' overall health. The Giants will collaborate and consult with Quest to develop new sports diagnostics services. As of today, our headquarters will be known as the Quest Diagnostics Training Center.
Quest, as you saw in the video, is the world's leading provider of laboratory diagnostic services that patients and doctors rely upon to make better health care decisions. I'm very pleased to be here today to announce our new partnership with Quest Diagnostics.
