Meanwhile, considering the current grim situation, Hunter has donated its services to support crucial community needs with an effort ensuring that communities remain connected during the COVID-19 crisis. It has upgraded services at Assante and Providence Health to augment network capacity, established service connection in less than 24 hours to set up new emergency health clinic in Medford and taken various other measures to ensure smooth operation during this crucial time.
