House Appropriations ranking member Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) is set to undergo surgery on Monday to treat spinal stenosis at Griffin Hospital in her home state of Connecticut.

Neurosurgeon Dr. Judith L. Gorelick will perform the surgery, which she describes as “a common treatment for a common occurrence.” DeLauro will undergo physical therapy following the surgery but will return to D.C. when Congress returns from its six-week district work period.
