"She is grateful to park staff, the U.S. Park Police, and the team at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for their excellent care," read the statement. "The Secretary will resume her schedule virtually this afternoon."

As a former NPS ranger, I hope Secretary Haaland has a thorough and fast recuperation!
