Last month representatives from Erlanger and CHI Memorial gathered at HomeServe's Operations Center at 7134 Lee Highway for a special technology donation.
As many have experienced throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals and health care facilities have had to significantly limit the number of people entering their facilities. For patients of all kinds, this has meant not being able to see their loved ones in person during their hospital stays. Nurses proved masters at solving problems and used their personal cellphones and tablets to help patients and loved ones stay connected.
Having heard the story from a friend and Erlanger nurse, HomeServe's Scott Weddle brought the idea to the HomeServe Cares Foundation, HomeServe's charitable arm, to see how the company could help. Each hospital was gifted four iPads to use throughout their hospitals to connect patients with families, friends and loved ones who are unable to visit them in the hospitals.
