According to the hospital’s website, Hoskinson Health & Wellness Clinic is based in Wyoming, United States. The hospital offers its clients a wide range of medical services, including primary care, mental health care, women’s health, proactive health screenings, cancer screenings, diet/nutritional medicine, and cardiovascular care.
The medical facility also focuses on life extensions for aging patients, biological food supplements, diets, exercise, and medical treatment,
The clinic is partly open and will be fully operational next month. According to the company’s LinkedIn page, the hospital currently has around ten staff members and is looking to increase its headcount.
Driving ADA Adoption
Hoskinson has continued to make moves recently to drive the adoption of the ADA token. In June, the blockchain developer announced the launch of Nessie’s restaurant and a whiskey lounge in Wyoming, where ADA is accepted as a payment option.
However, the decision to make ADA a payment method was unsatisfactory for some customers. Some people suggested that Hoskinson could have opted for alternative payment options based on Cardano, such as DJED, Cardano’s first decentralized stablecoin.
