Abbie J. Lane Gym
A purpose-built space to support patients accessing mental health and addiction services through the QEII.
The QEII's Abbie J. Lane gym is an integral part of a patient's care journey, providing access to exercise and recreation that improves their overall health and well-being. Donors can play a critical role in revolutionizing the gym, creating a safe, accessible, multi-functional and modern hub for the more than 500 patients who benefit from it each year.
