Rev. Jesse Jackson Transferred Out of Hospital, Mrs. Jackson in the ICU | Chaz’s Journal

I am so happy to report that the Reverend Jesse Jackson has been transferred out of the hospital and to a rehabilitation facility after spending almost a week in the hospital being treated for COVID-19. Rev Jackson’s wife, Jacqueline, was also hospitalized with COVID last week, and has been moved to the intensive care unit. Rev. Jackson had been vaccinated, while Mrs. Jackson had not, due to an unspecified underlying condition.  

Their son, Jonathan Jackson, said that his father, aged 79, was transferred from Chicago’s Northwestern Memorial Hospital to The Shirley Ryan Ability Lab, where he will immediately begin therapy to treat his Parkinson’s disease. He was diagnosed with the degenerative nervous system disorder in 2015, a condition his son says has come more “in focus” as his COVID symptoms have dissipated. Jacqueline Jackson, 77, was hospitalized with her husband on August 23rd, and is currently receiving oxygen treatments to help her breathe on her own.
