Rev. Jesse Jackson leaves hospital after treatment for neurological condition

The Rev. Jesse Jackson was released from the hospital Monday after 12 days receiving treatment for a neurological condition, his family said.

Jackson, 84, was hospitalized Nov. 12 and underwent treatment at Northwestern Memorial Hospital for progressive supranuclear palsy, a condition that affects balance, walking and body movements. He was in the intensive care unit before recovering enough to be moved out of ICU.

“Our family would like to thank the countless friends and supporters who have reached out, visited, and prayed for our father. We bear witness to the fact that prayer works and would also like to thank the professional, caring, and amazing medical and security staff at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. We humbly ask for your continued prayers throughout this precious time,” Jack
