WGN-Channel 9 reporter
Erin Ivory disclosed Wednesday that she has been on medical leave for more than a month and suffered a heart attack during that time. “I have received the most amazing care from the hospital cardiac team and for that I am so grateful,” she posted on
social media along with a photo. “I feel tremendously blessed to be alive and finally back home with my family. Please know how much your emails and love has brightened this hard stretch.” Ivory, 46, joined the Nexstar Media Group station in 2011 after two years as a per diem reporter. She and her husband, WGN meteorologist
Demetrius Ivory, have four children at home.
Dominick Stasi, news director of WGN, said: “We are so glad that Erin is on the mend. Both she and Demetrius are a huge part of the WGN family. We look forward to her return, but in the meantime, we are wishing her a healthy recovery.”
