A mother named Shamaya Jackson is suing Albany Medical Center following the death of her 1-month-old daughter, Milani Jream Andrea Finch. Per the mother, reported trips to the facility left her and her daughter turned away and dismissed. Ultimately, days after one visit, Milani passed away.
Now, Jackson is speaking out, noting that her daughter’s death could have been prevented. What happened? And why is the medical center also facing fines, lawsuits, and other allegations?
The Shade Room‘s Justin Carter is stepping in and shedding light on what’s really happening and what the public should know on ‘TSR Investigates.’
More On Shamaya Jackson & The Death Of Milani Jream Andrea Finch
According to the lawsuit, on April 9, 2025, Jackson visited the facility with her 1-month-old daughter. At the time, Jackson noticed that the infant was having trouble breathing. Despite this, Jackson and Milani were sent home. Then, on April 25, the pair returned. Additionally, per the mother, she was told her daughter had HMPV — symptoms close to coughing and wheezing. Ultimately, medical officials dismissed Jackson’s concerns, and she and her baby were discharged from the facility. Then, the next day, Milani was back at the facility and placed in the ICU for respiratory failure.
Ultimately, the 1-month-old passed away.
“Y’all made it seem like everything was okay — like it was just a regular cold. Like, how did we get here?” Jackson recalled of the Albany Medical Center staff. “[She was] disregarded — like everybody just got up and just left. They didn’t wrap my baby up in a blanket. They just left her body…”
What’s Really Happening At Albany Medical Center?
Per Carter, the events appear to be a “trend” at the center. Furthermore, in 2022, a three-year-old passed away due to a pulmonary embolism and an enlarged heart. He and his family had reportedly gone to the facility three times within two weeks. In their lawsuit, his family accused the center of failing to give their son timely treatment.
Scroll above to watch as Carter breaks down a New York State Department of Health report filed against the facility in June. The department reportedly issued a $375,000 fine against the center for “over 500 staffing violations.” Additionally, even shares the remarks from one nurse who allegedly worked at the facility and said she and her co-workers were being “spread too thin.” Furthermore, Carter shares videos that have surfaced of staff members creating dance TikToks while on the job. And he shares whether he received a statement from Albany Medical Center in response to it all. Lastly, Carter shares a general statement that a spokesperson for the facility has shared with The Times Union.
