Former President Bill Clinton has been admitted to Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, D.C. after experiencing a fever, according to a statement from his spokesman, Angel Ureña. He confirmed that the former president is "in good spirits" and appreciates the quality care he is receiving.
The admission occurred Monday evening for tests and observation. While details surrounding his condition remain sparse, sources indicate that there is no immediate cause for concern and Clinton, who is 78, is expected to recover fully. Reports from NBC News noted that the former president was awake and alert during his hospital stay.
This incident adds to Clinton's history of health scares; he previously spent six days in a California hospital in 2021 due to a blood infection and has faced heart-related issues in the past. After undergoing quadruple bypass surgery in 2004 for significant heart disease, he later adopted a vegan diet, proclaiming in a 2016 interview with Politico that his decision to switch to veganism likely contributed to his continued health.
Despite these challenges, Clinton has remained active in political affairs, supporting Vice President Kamala Harris's presidential campaign this year and releasing his latest memoir, "Citizen: My Life After the White House," just last month.
