PBS' Gwen Ifill, on leave, expected to return in 2 weeks

NEW YORK - PBS' Gwen Ifill is "doing well" and plans to return to the air around Memorial Day, the network said Monday.

The "NewsHour" co-anchor informed her audience on April 7 that she would be on leave the next few weeks for an undisclosed health issue.

During her absence, "NewsHour Weekend" anchor Hari Sreenivasan has been co-anchoring with Judy Woodruff.

Ifill also will return to moderating "Washington Week," the network said.
