A Medford facility has offered to provide a brain dead California girl 24-hour care.
Jahi McMath,13, suffered brain damage following a tonsillectomy earlier this month.
An Oakland hospital is battling to remove her from life support, saying she is brain dead. However, a judge ordered the hospital keep her on a ventilator until Jan. 7.
"Jahi McMath is unfortunately deceased," said hospital Spokesman Sam Singer. "No amount of hope, no amount of any type of medical procedures will bring her back."
Medford's New Beginnings Community Center offered McMath care from therapists and a doctor. The facility routinely treats people that have suffered traumatic brain injuries.
McMath's family has raised money to fly her to Long Island.
