U.S. Rep. Dwight Evans (D-PA) is being treated for a minor stroke
U.S. Rep. Dwight Evans said on Thursday that he is undergoing inpatient treatment following a minor stroke.
Evans, 70, a Democrat who has represented Philadelphia since 2016, said he received the diagnosis this week after unknowingly suffering the stroke days before.
“I wanted to let my constituents know that I am recovering from a minor stroke, and I want to emphasize the word minor,” Evans said in a statement. “It was minor enough that I didn’t even realize what had happened for a few days. The main impact seems to be some difficulty with one leg, which will probably impact my walking for some time, but not my long-term ability to serve the people of Philadelphia.”
Evans said he is recovering at an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where he expects to be for about a week longer, followed by outpatient therapy. He said he expects to be back in Washington in six weeks.
