Woman with sick has car stolen at hospital
A woman who was seeking emergency room treatment for her sick child, said she had her car stolen after checking it into the valet station at AdventHealth in Downtown Orlando.
ORLANDO, Fla. - A mother at the hospital with a sick child has her car stolen. Now, AdventHealth is apologizing to the woman after she reached out to The News Station.
That woman says she took her son to the emergency room last week and valeted her car, only to leave the hospital with her sick son and learn her car had been stolen.
“It’s pure negligence,” said Jessica Jackson, who is demanding answers and help.
Jackson took her son to the emergency room at AdventHealth Hospital in Downtown Orlando on Saturday. She was already stressed about her sick son, who was diagnosed with an ear infection.
She left her car with the hospital valet, but her car was now gone. She said it was stolen from hospital property.
“Go over there looking for the car, can’t find the car anywhere. I’m on the phone with my husband. I’m panicking. I’m yelling.”
She filed a report with the Orlando Police Department. Six days later, her son is feeling better, but her car is still nowhere to be found.
“I’m just like how could this happen? How could this happen under your guys’ nose?”
FOX 35 reached out to AdventHealth, which said patients and protection of their property is a top priority.
Jackson hopes they live up to that promise. “You guys are handling property of patients. They are already going through enough. The stress of it all that came along with this I felt like I shouldn’t have had to endure.”Fox 35 reached out several times to the valet company that the hospital contracts out to, but never heard back.
