Bill Clinton hospitalized in Washington after fever, spokesperson says

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton has been hospitalized in Washington after developing a fever.

Clinton was admitted Monday to Georgetown University Medical Center for “testing and observation,” spokesperson Angel Ureña said.

“He remains in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving,” Ureña, deputy chief of staff to the 78-year-old former president, said on X.

Clinton released his new memoir, “Citizen: My Life After the White House” last month. The 42nd president hit the campaign trail for Vice President Kamala Harris in October and spoke at the Democratic National Convention in August.

In 2021, Clinton was admitted to a Southern California hospital for an infection and has faced numerous health scares in the past including undergoing quadruple bypass surgery in 2004. He returned to the hospital for surgery for a partially collapsed lung in 2005, and in 2010 had a pair of stents implanted in a coronary artery.
