Former President Bill Clinton Has Been Hospitalized in Washington After Developing a Fever
Former President Bill Clinton has been admitted to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington after developing a fever, his aide announced on Monday. The 78-year-old Clinton is reportedly in good spirits and has been undergoing testing and observation, according to his deputy chief of staff, Angel Ureña.
A source close to the former president described the situation as “not urgent,” and stated that Clinton will be fine, adding that he developed a fever and wanted to be checked out. The source also confirmed that Clinton is awake and alert.
This is not the first time Clinton has faced health issues. He underwent a quadruple bypass operation in 2004 and returned to the same hospital in 2010 for another heart procedure. In 2021, he was hospitalized for six days in California with a urological infection that spread to his bloodstream.
Despite these health scares, Clinton has remained active in politics, campaigning for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris this year and releasing a memoir about his post-presidential life. In his most recent address at the Democratic National Convention, Clinton announced, “I want to say this from the bottom of my heart: I have no idea how many more of these I’ll be able to come to.”
