Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California was taken to the hospital Tuesday afternoon as a precautionary measure after a minor fall at her home in San Francisco.
According to a statement from her office, the 90-year-old senator visited the hospital after tripping and falling at her home. This comes days after she returned home from a three-month absence due to complications from shingles.
“All of her scans were clear and she returned home,” her office said in a statement Wednesday.
Feinstein’s health has been closely watched since her hospitalization earlier this year. She missed three months of work in the Senate due to her illness.
The senator is currently in her fifth term in the Senate, having first been elected in 1992. She is the oldest sitting senator and the longest-serving female senator in U.S. history.
