===Illness and death=== On August 11, 2017, Robertson was hospitalized after sustaining minor injuries in a fall from a horseback riding incident.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/2017/august/founder-pat-robertson-suffers-minor-injuries-in-horseback-riding-accident|title=CBN Founder Pat Robertson Suffers Minor Injuries in Horseback Riding Accident|date=August 11, 2017|access-date=August 2, 2018|archive-date=August 2, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180802042525/http://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/2017/august/founder-pat-robertson-suffers-minor-injuries-in-horseback-riding-accident|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://abcnews.go.com/US/pat-robertson-hospitalized-falling-horse/story?id=49173673|title=Pat Robertson hospitalized after falling from horse|author=David Caplan|work=[[ABC News (United States)|ABC News]]|access-date=August 13, 2017|date=August 12, 2017|archive-date=August 12, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170812235226/http://abcnews.go.com/US/pat-robertson-hospitalized-falling-horse/story?id=49173673|url-status=live}}</ref> On February 2, 2018, Robertson suffered an [[embolic stroke]] at his home in Virginia Beach. A member of his family noticed his symptoms and alerted emergency medical personnel. He was then taken to the nearest stroke center where he was administered the clot-busting drug [[Tissue plasminogen activator|tPA]]. Robertson was responsive, awake, and moving all of his limbs about eighty minutes after his stroke began. He was discharged two days later and recovered at home. Following this incident, Robertson and his family thanked the [[paramedics]] and medical staff for their "extraordinary care and rapid response." They also urged people to learn about stroke, its symptoms and treatments.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2018/february/pat-robertson-to-make-full-recovery-after-embolic-stroke|title=Pat Robertson To Make Full Recovery After Embolic Stroke|date=February 3, 2018|access-date=August 2, 2018|archive-date=August 2, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180802042641/https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2018/february/pat-robertson-to-make-full-recovery-after-embolic-stroke|url-status=live}}</ref> Robertson resumed his hosting duties on ''The 700 Club'' on February 12, 2018.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/health/2018/february/pat-robertson-returns-to-the-700-club-just-10-days-after-stroke|title=Pat Robertson Returns to The 700 Club Just 10 Days After Stroke|date=February 12, 2018|access-date=August 2, 2018|archive-date=August 2, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180802042535/http://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/health/2018/february/pat-robertson-returns-to-the-700-club-just-10-days-after-stroke|url-status=live}}</ref> In June 2019, Robertson was absent from ''The 700 Club'' for several days after he broke three ribs in a fall.
