A son of two emergency room physicians on the pandemic’s front lines, Kaya Suner also heeded the call to help. In just a few short weeks, his efforts are bringing isolated patients and their families together for the last time.
The 19-year-old teenager created Covid Connectors, an online portal that accepts iPad and iPhone donations for COVID-19 patients in isolation. Equipped with Google Hangouts, Zoom, and Skype, the devices are distributed across Rhode Island hospitals. So far, 650 devices have been donated.
