Gov. JB Pritzker Briefly Hospitalized for "Minor Complication" From Urology Procedure
Pritzker was treated by a doctor and sent home after a minor complication from an outpatient urology procedure, his spokesman said.
- Illinois Gov. Pritzker sought treatment at a Springfield hospital late Wednesday after experiencing a 'minor complication' from a routine outpatient urology procedure, spokesperson Matt Hill confirmed Friday.
- Pritzker underwent the routine outpatient procedure on May 1 and stepped back from public duties for a week; the Governor has rarely disclosed health issues since taking office in 2019.
- Spokesperson Matt Hill said no ambulance was needed; Pritzker was treated and released Wednesday night, resuming a full schedule Thursday meeting with Legislators and Illinoisans.
- His office stated Pritzker is 'doing great' and expected to complete his full planned agenda before returning to Chicago, though he had no public events scheduled Friday.
- Legislators remain in session in Springfield with adjournment scheduled for May 31, as Pritzker typically stays at the Mansion on key session days to manage state business.
