Do you play Pokemongo? Do you have extra lures? Then bring them to your nearest Children's Hospital.

Some responses:

Can confirm. Working at a Childrens hospital now. Literally took my patient's phone today to catch him a Pokemon. He was elated. These poor kids just wanna play bit have a hard time since they're on lock down.
The Same patient the previous shift was walking up and down our small hallway for the longest time just to hatch his 2km egg. : (

Confirmed!! At Boston Children's currently (working), there are lures everywhere. It's awesome.

I work in a Children's hospital. Every morning before I start actually working, I drop a lure at the main entrance and dozens of kids come to play and tell me about pokemon they've caught since they last saw me!

Texas Children's Hospital and St. Luke's at The Medical Center checking in, will do my best to keep lures up today. Even if it's only thirty minutes and early in the morning, I hope someone can have fun with it
If anyone at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston plays PokemonGo and has patients who need a distraction, hit me up and I will get you an iTunes gift card to buy lures with for the day.

I still have no idea about this game but reading the responses brings a tear to my eye.

1. Librarians are dropping them in the library

to lure the kids in.

2. Churches are gyms or something

3. well, gyms are all over

and some are at churches and some are at restaurants and the most I've seen are in public parks.

Pokestops are also at all those places and many more.


There's a Le Cordon Bleu cooking school near my work with 2 gyms and several pokestops. When we leave for lunch my boss and I stop there on the way out and on the way in. Gotta catch 'em all!

When I get lures I'll be sure to take them over to the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and drop 'em off. You have to buy lures with coins and you have to pay real money to get coins - I haven't been playing long enough to know if you can earn coins in the game but lures cost a lot of them.

5. That's a good idea

I play, so I'll remember to put one of those down next time I'm at a hospital pokestop.

6. Went to a hospital in Dallas this week that had NO POKESTOPS

Even for adults, focusing on something helps with pain and healing. So yeah, drop one at a hospital.

7. I'd recommend inquiring with the hospital before doing so.

There are some hospitals that are using the game to help with therapies and find the addition uplifting.

However there are also hospitals asking that people not drop lures due to security and safety concerns.
