Black, the first black individual and first Seventh-Day Adventist to serve as Senate chaplain, received treatment from U.S. Capitol physician Dr. Brian Monahan and is expected to make a “smooth recovery,” according to the Rev. Lisa Shultz, the chaplain’s chief of staff.

The 76-year-old veteran suffered a “medical emergency” resulting in a subdural hematoma, Shultz said. …

… After learning about the popular chaplain’s condition, Wilson said he received a voice message from the rear admiral.

The pastor said he “was so pleasantly surprised to receive a phone call from Chaplain Black himself on Friday evening from the hospital as he shared how God had miraculously intervened in his life to spare him from a potentially much more difficult health situation.” …

Reflecting back, the Capitol doctor said he felt “a distinct impression to call Chaplain Black to tell him to call an emergency number and get to the hospital.” …
