Fresno, California (CaymanMama.com) –U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s fast-paced schedule will carry a lighter load this week a fall in which she fractured her elbow, chief of staff Cheryl Mills said in a statement

While on her way to the White House on Wednesday, Clinton fell and was taken for treatment at The George Washington University Hospital, only blocks away from State Department headquarters, before being taken home for rest.

Clinton will undergo surgery to mend her fractured elbow in the coming week, Mills said.

“Secretary Clinton appreciates the professionalism and kindness she received from the medical team who treated her this evening and looks forward to resuming her full schedule soon,” Mills said.

Clinton was supposed to team up with actress and humanitarian Angelina Jolie on Thursday morning at a Washington event for World Refugee Day. That event has been taken off of Clinton’s public schedule.
