Charles Hoskinson’s New Hospital Will Accept Cardano (Ada) for Payments

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has announced the launch of his new hospital called “Hoskinson Health & Wellness Clinic,” which will allow customers to pay for medical services using ADA, the native token of the Cardano ecosystem.

Hoskinson shared the update in response to one of his Twitter followers who asked if they could pay their bills at the newly-launched clinic using ADA. The Cardano founder replied with a “Yes.”

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.

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.
