Family members of a Los Angeles County hospital patient who was found earlier this week have been located, officials said Wednesday.

The woman is currently at the St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood and has been there since Dec. 15 after she was found near 68th Street and Converse Avenue in the Florence-Graham area.


She did not have any information or belongings to help identify her, hospital staff said.

Officials issued an advisory Tuesday in hopes of finding the woman’s family and it worked.

“Thank you for your assistance. The patient’s family has been found … We appreciate your help,” Marketing and Communications Manager Linda Woo said Wednesday.

Anyone who has additional information is asked to call St. Francis Medical Center at 310-728-0714.
