In a post made to Instagram, Jackson’s Rainbow PUSH Coalition wrote:
The family of the Reverend Jesse L. Jackson Sr., wishes to clarify his current medical condition following inaccurate media reports. Reverend Jackson is in stable condition and is breathing without the assistance of machines. He remains under the care of physicians as he manages progressive spranuclear palsy (PSP), a neurological disorder with which he was diagnosed in April. Contrary to specific reports, he is not on life support.
The post continued, sharing that Jackson was speaking with churches now to help combat malnutrition as we approach the holidays.
“In fact, today he called for 2,000 churches to prepare 2,000 baskets of food to prevent malnutrition during the holiday season,” said his son, Yusef Jackson.
The family is grateful for the dedicated medical team at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where Reverend Jackson is receiving appropriate treatment. The Jackson family extends heartfelt appreciation for the many prayers and kind messages offered during this time.
