Supervisor Hahn to Go to Hospital for Checkup
Los Angeles County Supervisor Kenneth Hahn will be admitted to Daniel Freeman Memorial Hospital today for a “routine follow-up examination” of the prostate surgery he underwent three years ago, according to an aide.
The 71-year-old Hahn, the county’s longest-serving supervisor, will undergo “minor surgery” to remove scar tissue, said his chief deputy, Mas Fukai. Hahn will spend one night in the hospital.
Hahn has been hospitalized three other times for a variety of ailments since suffering a stroke in 1987. He has said that he is considering retiring next year after serving nearly four decades as a supervisor. He has said that he will announce his plans in late October.
