Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was discharged from the hospital Monday, nearly a week after suffering a concussion during a fall, and will move to an rehabilitation facility for physical therapy before going home, his office announced.
“Leader McConnell’s concussion recovery is proceeding well and the Leader was discharged from the hospital today,” David Popp, a spokesperson for McConnell said in a statement. “At the advice of his physician, the next step will be a period of physical therapy at an inpatient rehabilitation facility before he returns home.”
The statement also noted doctors during his hospital stay discovered McConnell “suffered a minor rib fracture” in the fall.
The 81-year-old senator has been hospitalized and receiving treatment for a concussion since late in the evening of March 8, when he tripped after attending a private dinner at a Washington hotel. That dinner followed a reception at the Waldorf Astoria for the Senate Leadership Fund, a super PAC that raises unlimited donations to support GOP candidates, where McConnell had spoken earlier in the evening.
