Steny Hoyer Recovers Well After Mild Ischemic Stroke

Maryland Congressman Steny Hoyer is recovering well after suffering a mild ischemic stroke, his office said. The Democrat representative, who boasts of a distinguished career in the U.S. House and held the House Majority Leader position for a long time, appears not to have any persistent symptoms since the stroke. He is receiving and responding well to treatment, and he expects to resume his full-scheduling duty by next week.

Family members accompanying Hoyer to full recovery paid a special tribute to the doctors and healthcare staff members who have had a role in caring for the congressman. The 85-year-old representative has had a tenure that extends to 1981 serving Maryland’s 5th District. Moreover, he previously declared his intent to run for a 23rd term ahead of the health scare, thwarting the prospect of retirement from Congress. His district covers Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, Prince George’s, and St. Mary’s, a region that he describes as both “rural and urban, Southern and Mid-Atlantic.” The stroke’s relatively mild nature is a good sign as Hoyer readies for a return to his work on the Hill.
