Able Information Technologies Employees Donate Big Screen TV to Phoenix Children's Hospital
CHANDLER, Ariz., Dec. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- The employees of Able Information Technologies, Inc. (http://www.ableinc.com), a provider of complete technology solutions for the past 15 years and the #1 provider of IT solutions for schools in the Southwest, donated a big screen TV to one of the ten largest children's hospitals in the nation, Phoenix Children's Hospital.
All 95 employees at Able collected and donated enough money to purchase a 52-inch TV and a DVD player, and gave it to the Phoenix Children Hospital. Furthermore, engineers and technicians from Able installed and wired the donated equipment in the surgery waiting area of the hospital.
"We provide kids with technology for learning and entertainment every day, by installing networks in schools. The employees thought it would be a really good idea to do something similar for the kids who can't attend school due to illness," said Duke Merhavy, Director of Marketing at Able Information Technologies.
"Generous support provided by Able Inc. gives Phoenix Children's Hospital the ability to provide our young patients and families with a world-class experience," said Lee Bultman, Director of Patient and Family Services at Phoenix Children's Hospital. Bultman also stated that "having a big screen TV and DVD player in the surgery waiting area not only provides a distraction to family members waiting for their children to come out of surgery, but it also enables the hospital to hold a weekly Movie Night for the families -- and the kids love it!"
