Former President Bill Clinton hospitalised at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital after developing a fever, in good spirits.
Former President Bill Clinton was admitted Monday (December 23, 2024) to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington after developing a fever.
The 78-year-old was hospitalized in the “afternoon for testing and observation," Angel Urena, Mr. Clinton's deputy chief of staff, said in a statement.
“He remains in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving,” Urena said.
Mr. Clinton, a Democrat who served two terms as President from January 1993 until January 2001, addressed the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this summer, and campaigned ahead of November's election for the unsuccessful White House bid of Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.
In the years since Mr. Clinton left the White House, he's faced some health scares.
In 2004, he underwent quadruple bypass surgery after experiencing prolonged chest pains and shortness of breath. Mr. Clinton returned to the hospital for surgery for a partially collapsed lung in 2005, and in 2010 he had a pair of stents implanted in a coronary artery.
Mr. Clinton responded by embracing a largely vegan diet that saw him lose weight and report improved health.
