Erlanger Health System President and CEO Jim Brexler has been discharged from Erlanger after a week of hospitalization, officials said Monday.
Brexler is recovering from a badly broken left arm and shoulder, injuries sustained last week when he fell from a ladder, according to a Monday statement from Erlanger Health System spokeswoman Pat Charles.
At the time of the fall, Brexler was painting a nursery for his expected twins at the Signal Mountain home of him and his wife, Kelly.
He will return to work after making a full recovery, according to the statement. Kelly Brexler is expected to deliver twins in late March or April.
“Even though I’ve been a model patient, our insurance department has been anxious to see me discharged,” Brexler said in an e-mailed statement, “and my wife is equally enthusiastic about me not taking on any more painting chores.”
