Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is recovering after undergoing hip replacement surgery following a fall earlier this week in Germany. A spokesperson for Pelosi confirmed the procedure was successful and that the 84-year-old Speaker Emerita is now on the mend.
The incident occurred while Pelosi was attending an event in Europe. She was transported to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center at Landstuhl Army Base, where U.S. military medical staff provided immediate care. Pelosi was later transferred to Hospital Kirchberg in Luxembourg, where the hip replacement surgery was performed.
“Speaker Pelosi is grateful to U.S. military staff and the medical professionals at Hospital Kirchberg for their excellent care and kindness,” her spokesperson said in a statement.
A Resilient Recovery After Surgery
Pelosi’s team emphasized her determination to recover fully and continue her advocacy for access to quality health care for all Americans. In a brief statement, Pelosi thanked supporters for their prayers and well wishes, underscoring her commitment to public service despite the health setback.
“Speaker Pelosi is enjoying the overwhelming outpouring of prayers and well wishes,” the spokesperson added. “She remains ever determined to ensure access to quality health care for all Americans.”
The surgery marks a significant moment for Pelosi, who has maintained a demanding schedule even after stepping down as House Speaker. The fall and subsequent medical procedure highlight the physical challenges faced by public officials of advanced age, sparking discussions about health care and resilience in leadership roles.
