A local Eagle Scout project is putting hospital patients in more reliable contact with their loved ones and medical providers.

Fourteen-year-old Jeremy Hall, of Troup 99 in Boy Scouts of America's Tejon District, solicited donations of phone cables and wall chargers, accepting money as an alternative, then organized deliveries to three local hospitals.

“I am so impressed with Jeremy," said Carol Stiltner, chief nurse of Bakersfield Heart Hospital, a recipient of phone-charging equipment that spread news of Hall's accomplishment. She invited him to apply for work there in the future.

"His commitment to serving his community and his passion for helping people make him the perfect candidate for a Bakersfield Heart Hospital team member one day!” Stiltner stated in a news release.
