Grey’s Anatomy actor Steven W. Bailey has revealed a neuromuscular disorder has left him requiring a wheelchair.
On Friday (January 2), Bailey – known for playing the bartender Joe in the long-running ABC medical drama – shared the news that he had been diagnosed with Congenital Myasthenia Syndrome (CMS) in a series of posts on his X account.
“I would like to share something important with you about my life and my career,” he wrote. “I’ve spent years being cautious, private, and quiet about something that has been shaping my life and my work. That time is over.”
“Out of career caution, diagnostic uncertainty, and being private about such things in general, I have been hiding my battle with this disease for over five years. Time to stop.”
