Dennis Prager, the founder of the conservative media outlet PragerU and a prominent voice in American political commentary, was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital Tuesday morning after suffering what has been described as a serious back injury from a fall.
The news was confirmed in a statement from PragerU’s official social media account Wednesday, which provided an update on his condition. “On Tuesday morning, PragerU founder and our dear friend, Dennis Prager, suffered a serious back injury following a fall. He’s resting in a local Los Angeles hospital as doctors assess treatment options. We will keep you informed of his condition. In the meantime, Dennis welcomes the healing power of your prayers,” the statement read.
Details surrounding the fall and the severity of Prager’s injuries remain unclear. Representatives for PragerU have not yet provided additional comment on the circumstances leading up to the incident or the potential long-term implications for the 75-year-old commentator’s health.
Known for his outspoken views on topics ranging from politics to religion, Prager has built a loyal following over decades of radio broadcasting, public speaking, and authoring books. PragerU, the media organization he co-founded in 2009, has become a major force in conservative digital media, offering short, opinion-driven videos on a variety of political and cultural topics.
Prager, who has been an active public figure since the 1980s, is no stranger to advocating for resilience and faith in challenging times—themes that frequently resonate in his writings and speeches.
