Wes Johnson, PA announcer for the Washington Capitals, was hospitalized after a medical emergency while in Atlanta for an Alzheimer's Association benefit. Found unresponsive, he was intubated and placed in a medically-induced coma for five days. After showing improvement, he was released from the hospital, expressing gratitude on social media. A GoFundMe raised over $175,000 for his medical expenses, with notable support from Capitals owner Ted Leonsis. Johnson shared his thanks in a video from the hospital, emphasizing his survival and appreciation for the support he's received.
Hey, it's Wes Johnson. It's still Wes Johnson. The rumors of my demise - well, they weren't exaggerated - very close. Very close. But I'm still here.
FREE FROM THE HOSPITAL. ALIVE. GRATEFUL.
FAREWELL ATLANTA. The future awaits. #Grateful
Wes's condition finally began improving on Tuesday, as the popular voice actor woke up and began speaking again.
