Telus and flanker brand Koodo are helping out the frontline healthcare workers and operational staff at Vancouver Coastal Health and Fraser Health Authority by offering them two months of free wireless service. The two B.C. facilities were chosen because they cater to areas in the province hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic. The program is part of Telus' Mobility for Good initiative, which gives youth coming out of foster care access to a phone and service plan.
Those who qualify from Vancouver Coastal Health include frontline staff members or physicians who are actively working on COVID-19 patient care units or those assigned to key COVID-19 response roles. Meanwhile, those from the Fraser Health Authority who qualify include staff who work in housekeeping, food services, and environmental departments. Telus claims the program has been extended to select hospitals and healthcare facilities in Quebec and Ontario, with Alberta to follow soon.
