NJ Rep. Norcross remains in ICU following gallbladder infection, sepsis treatment

CAMDEN, N.J. (WPHL) — New Jersey Democratic Congressman Donald Norcross is continuing treatment at Cooper University Healthcare after suffering a “medical event” in North Carolina last week.

“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.”

In a statement released by his office, Norcross’s offices in Camden County and Washington, DC remain open. Congressman Norcross is “in regular contact with members of his staff and is monitoring circumstances in the Capitol and in the district,” according to his office.
