Congressman Donald Norcross has returned home after a brief stay at a rehabilitation facility, according to his Cherry Hill district office.
The 66-year-old congressman was admitted to Cooper University Health Care on April 7 after suffering a gallbladder infection known as cholangitis that had progressed to sepsis. He was first taken ill in Raleigh, N.C. Norcross is expected to continue outpatient rehab in the coming weeks and will have his gallbladder removed.
“It is good to be home,” the congressman said. “I owe a debt of immense gratitude to the incredible health professionals at Cooper Hospital who saved my life and have been instrumental in helping me recover so quickly. I want to sincerely thank the incredible South Jersey community for the outpouring of prayers, cards, calls and well wishes.
“Be assured that I will continue to fight for our seniors, veterans and hardworking families each and every day.”
