Well-known conservative radio host Dennis Prager, 77, founder of the conservative educational media platform PragerU, is currently hospitalized with blood clots in his lungs and pneumonia.
In 2024, Prager became paralyzed after suffering a catastrophic fall that damaged his C3 and C4 vertebrae.
“A number of doctors, independently of one another, have described the fact that I am talking as a quote ‘a miracle,'” Prager shared during an interview with PragerU CEO Marissa Streit following his fall. “And these are not religious people. I am cognizant of how lucky I am to be able to speak.”
ChurchLeaders learned of Prager’s most recent hospitalization through a credible source who was granted anonymity to discuss the matter. According to the source, the radio host was admitted to the hospital earlier this week, where medical professionals discovered blood clots in his lungs and diagnosed him with pneumonia.
Pastor Lucas Miles, vice president of TPUSA and head of TPUSA Faith, provided ChurchLeaders with a statement after hearing of Prager’s hospitalization.
“Dennis Prager has been one of the most influential voices for faith, freedom, and common-sense conservatism in our generation. Through his writing, broadcasting, and teaching, he has challenged millions to think deeply, live courageously, and uphold the values that have made America strong.”
The NY Times best selling author of “Pagan Threat” encouraged Christians to join him in praying for Prager.
“During this season, I encourage believers across the nation to join me in praying for Dennis—asking God to grant him strength, healing, peace, and renewed vitality,” Miles said. “We honor his decades of faithful service and stand with him in prayer, trusting the Lord’s sustaining grace and goodness.”
Prager was raised as an Orthodox Jew and is the author of “If There Is No God: The Battle Over Who Defines Good and Evil,” “The Rational Bible,” and, “No Safe Spaces.”
ChurchLeaders has reached out to PragerU for comment and will update this article if a response is received.
