Park Forest, IL—(ENEWSPF)—July 5, 2012. The following statement was released today by a spokesperson for Congressman Jessie Jackson, Jr.:
“Recently, we have been made aware that he has grappled with certain physical and emotional ailments privately for a long period of time. At present, he is undergoing further evaluation and treatment at an in-patient medical facility. According to the preliminary diagnosis from his doctors, Congressman Jackson will need to receive extended in-patient treatment as well as continuing medical treatment thereafter.
