Clinton Foundation president out of hospital after suffering stroke

Clinton Foundation president Donna Shalala is out of the hospital following a stroke and says she is ready to get back to work.

“I’m out!” Shalala, 74, the former secretary of Health and Human Services in the Clinton administration, said in a statement thanking doctors and nurses who cared for her.

Shalala suffered a stroke last Tuesday following a Clinton Global Initiative event in New York. A statement last week said she was with friends at the time of the stroke.
