Hospitals are dumping patients at homeless shelter in Florida. #abcactionnews #news #florida
SUMMARY: A video from January shows a wheelchair-bound man expressing his objection to being taken to Childhood House Ministries, a Lakeland homeless shelter, after being discharged from a mental health facility. The facility arranged for an Uber to transport him, reflecting a concerning trend of patient drop-offs at the shelter. Deborah Ketti, the director of programs at the shelter, reports 64 such instances this year, with occupancy exceeding 120%, leading to individuals sleeping on floors. This situation has prompted an investigation by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration into the practice of “patient dumping.”
