Pokémon Go players no longer will be able to "catch em' all" at some healthcare facilities in the Quad Cities, according to an article on the Quad Cities Times website.
The UnityPoint Health Trinity and Genesis Health System campuses have banned the game.
UnityPoint Health Trinity spokesperson Brian Boesen said the two healthcare systems released a joint statement because it's a community issue.
It's a healing issue; we don't want a bunch of people wandering through the hallways when people are trying to get better from their illness or surgery, Craig Cooper, senior communications specialist at Genesis Health System said.
