Former President Bill Clinton Hospitalized With Fever

Former President Bill Clinton, 78, was admittted to Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, D.C. on Monday after developing a fever.

Angel Ureña, the former president’s chief of staff, said Clinton “has been admitted to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital for testing and observation after developing a fever. The former president “remains in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving,” Ureña added.

The hospitalization was not an urgent matter. The president went to the hospital as a precautionary measure. One source told NBC News that “The former president will be fine. He developed a fever and wanted to be checked out. He is awake and alert.”

Clinton has faced several health challenges over the past two decades after leaving office. He underwent a quadruple bypass surgery in 2004 and the placement of two coronary stents in 2010.

In 2021, Clinton was admited to the University of California Irvine Medical Center’s intensive care unit after he contracted a urinary tract infection. (Read more from “Former President Bill Clinton Hospitalized With Fever” HERE)
