What kind of program is Doctor Levy describing?

W: Doctor Levy, tell us about some of the more unusual services here at the hospital.
M: Well, We have yoga classes, art and music programs. And starting next month, there’s going to be a comedy night every Friday.
W: Really? Why?
M: Well, there’s been quite a lot of research to suggest that laughter speeds up the healing process.

M: Let’s go swimming!
W: I can’t. I have a class at three o’clock, and I can’t get out of it.
M: Can’t you say that you’re sick, or something?
W: I’d never get away with that. Everybody uses that excuse. Anyway, I have a lot of homework to do if I want to keep up with the rest of the class. I still have to make up for the time I was absent last week.
