Hospital in Los Angeles County seeks help identifying patient

Officials at a hospital in Los Angeles County are asking for the public’s help in identifying a patient who is unable to communicate his name, nor the names of any of his family members.  

The approximately 70-year-old Hispanic male was found in the 7900 block of Imperial Highway in Downey and brought to St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood, though the date that he was hospitalized was not provided.  

The patient stands at around 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing about 160 pounds with gray hair and a gray beard.  

Officials said he speaks Spanish but cannot communicate his identity or next of kin.  

Anyone who might recognize the patient is urged to contact Linda Woo in the hospital’s social services office at 310-900-2094 or 310-900-7619.  

Hospital officials are hoping to connect the patient with his loved ones as soon as possible.
