Senator Chris Murphy Discharged from Hospital Following Stroke, Enters Rehabilitation Facility
Senator Chris Murphy, a Democrat from Connecticut, announced on Friday that he has been discharged from Johns Hopkins Hospital after suffering a small hemorrhagic stroke last weekend. The 53-year-old senator will now enter a rehabilitation facility, expecting to miss several weeks of votes in the Senate. Senator Murphy called 911 on October 31 after feeling that "something was not right" with his body. Dr. Jose Suarez, chief of neurosciences critical care at Johns Hopkins Hospital, stated that Senator Murphy has shown significant progress and is expected to make a full recovery after rehabilitation. During his recovery, Senator Murphy will remain engaged with his team and colleagues remotely, ensuring the continuity of his office's work. This health event follows a period of intense activity for Senator Murphy, including campaigning for House and Senate candidates, a trip to the Middle East, and his annual "walk across Connecticut."
