Saw this on facebook, I want to help spread it here too.

Omg noooo. No no no don’t do this. Seriously. The sentiment is sweet and the intention is pure and good but omg no please don’t.

I work for a large hospital system in NEPA and they’ve sent a company wide email asking employees not to play on campuses or physicians offices, and if they see anyone wandering the hospitals or parking lots aimlessly playing Pokemon Go to ask them to leave or to stay in the waiting rooms.

Believe me we already have people entering areas they shouldn’t be in in the first place and this could potentially do more harm than good.

I get it though, wanting these children to have fun while they’re there but unfortunately it won’t attract just the children.

Many hospitals are asking people not to do this so please don’t.

I just googled and pulled up the first few I seen. My hospital hasn’t issued a statement on the website or anything yet but believe me a lot of hospitals don’t want this.
