CHERRY HILL, NJ — Today, the office of Congressman Donald Norcross issued an update from his doctor on the Congressman’s recent medical event.

"Congressman Donald W. Norcross was transferred to Cooper University Health Care on Monday, April 7th following a medical incident that necessitated his hospitalization in Raleigh, NC.  Upon his arrival at Cooper, he was diagnosed with a gallbladder infection known as cholangitis that had progressed to sepsis,” said Dr. Eric Kupersmith, Chief Physician Executive at Cooper University Health Care. “The Cooper medical team was able to remove the gallstone and is treating the infection and its complications. Congressman Norcross is responding well to treatment, but faces an extended recovery that could require physical rehabilitation. He remains in intensive care.”

While Congressman Norcross recovers, his offices in New Jersey's First Congressional District and in Washington, DC remain open and available to constituents.  The Congressman is in regular contact with members of his staff and is monitoring circumstances in the Capitol and in the district. He and his family have been touched by the outpouring of support and well-wishes.

His office will release further information as warranted.
