Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was taken to the GW Hospital for treatment Wednesday, after she fell and fractured her right elbow, the Associated Press reported.

Clinton, who was on her way to the White House when she injured herself, will undergo surgery next week, her chief of staff Cheryl Mills said in a statement.

This is the second political figure to be treated for a broken bone at the GW Hospital this month.

On June 8, Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor was treated at the GW Hospital after she fractured her right ankle while falling in the LaGuardia Airport in New York. Sotomayor was on her way to D.C. for a series of meetings on Capitol Hill with at least six Senators as part of her nomination to the Supreme Court.
