The Pentagon announced Monday that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was finally released from the hospital after being admitted on New Year’s Day following complications from an earlier surgery on December 22 to treat prostate cancer and will work from home for “a period of time.”
“The Secretary continues to recover well and, on the advice of doctors, will recuperate and perform his duties remotely for a period of time before returning full-time to the Pentagon. He has full access to required secure communications capabilities,” the Pentagon said in a statement.
The Pentagon added Austin is expected to make a full recovery.
Austin released a statement thanking doctors for the “excellent care” he received and said he was eager to return to the Pentagon “as quickly as possible.”
I’m grateful for the excellent care I received at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and want to thank the outstanding doctors and nursing staff for their professionalism and superb support.
