OKC Thunder Coaches, Players and Staff Make Rounds Approximately 25 coaches, players and staff of the Oklahoma City Thunder basketball team recently visited patients at INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center.
They split up into five groups and went room to room chatting with patients and their families. They took pictures and signed autographs as well. They made stops in the pediatric unit, the burn unit, the INTEGRIS Heart Hospital and Jim Thorpe Rehabilitation. They handed out Thunder bracelets to the adults and Teddy bears to the children.

The visit was actually a surprise for the players. When they showed up for practice, their coaches told them there had been a change of plans – they were going to help lift the spirits of the sick and injured. The patients and hospital staff were thrilled to meet these “gentle giants” in person and the team seemed equally touched by the experience. INTEGRIS Health is the Official Health Care Provider for the OKC Thunder.
