Carriers Team Up to Donate Phone Chargers to Hospitals

Apr 29, 2020, 12:01 PM by Rich Brome @rbrome

Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T are working with iHeartMedia to donate 200,000 cell phone chargers to hospitals in major cities hardest hit by the coronavirus pandemic. "Many patients seeking treatment for Covid-19 either forget to bring their phone charger to the hospital or don’t have one easily accessible. Losing the ability to communicate with friends and family during a pandemic can be terrifying and healthcare workers are struggling to keep up with the demand for chargers." Cities receiving the donations include New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, Boston, New Orleans, Detroit, and Philadelphia.

Very Kind

Portable cell-phone power banks are super as well.
With a full charge you can walk around with one instead of looking for an outlet.
The chargers regardless are a great help to a very busy field.
