Congressman Boehner to Undergo Back Surgery Friday Morning

This just in...
WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman John Boehner (R-West Chester) is scheduled to undergo back surgery Friday morning at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Bethesda , Maryland . Boehner will have an MRI Thursday afternoon to provide the surgical team with the most up-to-date picture of his condition.

Due to the surgery and physical limitations during a brief recovery period, Boehner will be unable to attend the 17th Annual Eighth District Farm Forum on Saturday, March 1. This event will go on as planned.

Boehner expects to resume his full work schedule next week.
Boehner is a fighter...he should be out of the hospital the same day as the surgery -- and back up to his usual workload by the end of the weekend. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
