CarePoint Health Hoboken University Medical Center and Hoboken police are seeking the public's help in identifying a woman who needs treatment for a life-threatening illness, officials said.

The woman, who is about 65 years old, 100 pounds with brown eyes and brown hair, has been in the hospital for the past 40 days. Hospital officials say her name may be Mary Ford, and her date of birth may be Sept. 22, 1950, 1951 or 1961.

Hospitals officials say that without her "pedigree," or medical history, the woman can't receive the proper care and will die. Police believe the woman is homeless and lived in North Bergen at some point.

Anyone with information that can help identify the woman is urged to call the Hoboken Police Department at 201-420-2111 or the HUMC at 201-418-1336.
