CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert has returned home to Detroit after about two months in a Chicago rehabilitation facility recovering from a stroke he suffered in late May.
“On Friday, Dan Gilbert returned to Detroit to continue his rehabilitation locally,” Quicken Loans CEO Jay Farner said in an update provided to cleveland.com. “We are extremely thankful for all of the skilled medical professionals who have played a significant role in Dan’s recovery and are glad to have him back home.”
On May 26, Gilbert was taken to the hospital by a family friend for stroke-like symptoms. Under the hospital’s care, Gilbert suffered a stroke and was taken immediately into surgery for a catheter-based procedure. He was released from Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan about a month later and continued his recovery at an inpatient rehabilitation center in Chicago. - CLICK HERE to read full story.
