Republican Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick is resting at home after a weekend surgery.
The congressman, a resident of Middletown’s Levittown section, went in for the procedure and has been released from the hospital. He was released and was with his family Monday afternoon, said Pat Long, Fitzpatrick’s spokesperson.
“He’s doing well and recovering,” Long said.
Details on Fitzpatrick’s health and the reason for the procedure were not released on Monday. Long said more information would likely be released Tuesday.
Fitzpatrick battled and beat back colon cancer in the last decade has become an advocate for supporting cancer research and screenings. The lawyer turned politician also has spent his final months in federal office working to help women who suffer from problems related to dangerous medical devices.
Fitzpatrick is not running for reelection this year but his brother Brian Fitzpatrick is the Republican seeking the Eighth Congressional District seat.
