DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado Lt. Gov. Dianne Primavera was released from the hospital on Monday after she was admitted Wednesday night.
According to the Colorado Governor’s Office, Primavera returned home Monday after being treated for an arm infection.
“While I had different plans in mind for Memorial Day weekend, I’m grateful for the doctors, nurses, and staff who provided me with incredible care during my treatment for an unexpected infection,” Primavera said in a press release Monday. “I came home today in good spirits and filled with gratitude.
“Thank you for all the well wishes and to the many dedicated health care professionals statewide who continually answer the call to serve their community. I’m looking forward to continuing my work alongside Governor Polis to ensure that all Coloradans have access to high quality and affordable healthcare,” Primavera said.
Gov. Jared Polis previously called his lieutenant governor “one of the strongest and toughest people I know,” and said on Thursday that she had plans to continue working in the hospital.
“We are all glad that Dianne is recovering at home and know she’ll be back stronger than ever,” said Polis in a release.
Among other responsibilities, Primavera leads the Office of Saving People Money on Health Care, the Office of eHealth Innovation, the Colorado Disability Funding Committee and Disability Policy, the Colorado Commission of Indian Affairs, Serve Colorado and Aerospace and Defense.
