On Wednesday evening, Gov. Kay Ivey’s office released the below information relating to Ivey having a minor medical procedure done:
“For the last three weeks, Gov. Kay Ivey has experienced some discomfort in her left side. After monitoring the pain and recently feeling slightly short-of-breath, she made the decision to be seen again by her primary care physician earlier today. After he recommended she be evaluated by a surgeon at Baptist Medical Center South, it was determined there was some fluid pushing against her lung.
“While it was not emergent, Gov. Ivey wanted to get the procedure done as soon as possible so she can quickly get back to 100% to wrap up the 2026 Regular Session. This afternoon, the governor successfully underwent a minor procedure at Baptist South to remove that fluid. Out of an abundance of caution, she will be monitored at Baptist South in the coming days.
“We are in touch with Gov. Ivey, and she says she is determined to make a very speedy and full recovery.”
