Headline: Bill Clinton, 78, Hospitalized for Tests and Observation at Georgetown University Hospital
Article:
Former U.S. President Bill Clinton, 78, was admitted to the Georgetown University Hospital on Monday for evaluation and testing due to a fever, his spokesperson Angel Ureña confirmed via a statement on Twitter. Clinton is currently under observation while doctors work to determine the cause of his fever.
NBC News, citing sources close to the former president, reported that Clinton’s condition is not an emergency and that he is awake and alert. The hospitalization appears to be a precautionary measure.
Reuters reported that Clinton is in good spirits and appreciative of the care he’s receiving at the hospital. The former president, who served two terms from 1993 to 2001, has had several health issues in recent years. In 2004, he underwent quadruple bypass heart surgery at New York Presbyterian Hospital. In 2010, he had two stents placed in a coronary artery. In 2021, Clinton was hospitalized in California for six days due to an infection and a related blood condition, according to NBC News.
Since leaving the White House, Clinton has maintained an active schedule, participating in public events and initiatives through his Clinton Foundation. His most recent appearance was in September at an event in New York, where he spoke about global health and development programs.
Clinton’s team has not provided an estimated discharge date or further details about the preliminary test results. This is a developing story, and it will be updated as more information becomes available.
