St. Luke’s University Health Network has added two new members to sports medicine team, including Keith Gray who worked for the Philadelphia Eagles for many years.

Gray joins the sports performance department as director. The department works with college, adult and professional or elite athletes from all sports. The director teaches sports performance coaches who design and implement strength and conditioning programs for athletes and teams associated with St. Luke’s, including school districts, athletic clubs and youth organizations. After more than 15 years with collegiate sports programs, Gray spent nine years with the Philadelphia Eagles as assistant strength and conditioning coach.

“I spent the last 25 years coaching athletes, including Super Bowl champions,” said Gray. “Coaching performance coaches is no different from coaching athletes. I’m committed to making them the best versions of themselves.”

Peduzzi joins his former colleague and Virginia Tech football teammate as sports medicine coordinator. He will ensure athletic training services are provided in a timely, accurate and effective manner. Peduzzi, who joined St. Luke’s last year, oversees and mentors the many athletic trainers and students working within the program, preventing injuries and restoring function. He also serves as a liaison between St. Luke’s and the school districts, colleges and sports organizations. During his 19-year tenure with the Philadelphia Eagles, Peduzzi held a variety of roles, most recently as head athletic trainer.

“Sharing my skills and experience with student athletes and trainers has been very rewarding,” says Peduzzi. “I’m excited to be working for an organization that is committed to taking care of athletes.”

“We are thrilled to have two well-respected, talented professionals join the Sports Medicine team,” says John Hauth, Senior Network Administrator, Sports Medicine Relations. “With the level of experience Keith and Chris have, they will be a great asset to our program and the athletes we partner with.”

Gray and Peduzzi will soon launch St. Luke’s “Pro Zone,” a new service providing athletes with advice, treatment, and specialized programming — including recovery strategies — from those who treated the pros.
