Schwartz’s announcers, Nichelle Medina and Rachel Kim, didn’t seem immediately aware of what had happened, perhaps at first they thought Schwartz was reacting to an incoming weather forecast. They soon realized something was very wrong and told the viewers, “We’re going to take a quick break now.” TMZ reported that the morning show is not returning to the live segment.

CBS Los Angeles vice president and news director Mike Dello Stretto told the outlet that Schwartz’s co-workers rushed to call 911 and that she was being treated at a local hospital, but did not provide further details about the cause of her collapse.
Schwartz posted on Facebook Sunday, “Thanks for all the well wishes while I recover from a head injury. I’m out of the hospital and doing great. Plenty of sleep and even some pizza – TY.” It is unclear if the collapse was caused by a head injury or if she sustained a head injury from a fall.
“I appreciate all the prayers as I recover,” she wrote. “More is coming…”
TMZ reported that Schwartz had another medical incident in 2014 while working for another network when she reportedly vomited live during a weather report and was later diagnosed with Leaky heart valve.
