Bill Clinton Hospitalized Ahead of Christmas
Former President Bill Clinton is receiving medical care after developing a fever, his spokesman confirmed. Clinton was admitted to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, DC, on December 23, for testing and observation. An aide reported he is “awake and alert.”
“The president is fine,” said Angel Urena, Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, adding that he is “hopeful to return home by Christmas.” Urena emphasized Clinton’s gratitude for the “excellent care he is receiving.”
Close associates noted that Clinton’s condition is “not urgent or dire.” He was at his Washington residence when his symptoms prompted evaluation, and he is expected to stay overnight for monitoring.
This hospitalization is the latest in a series of health issues for Clinton, who underwent heart surgery in 2004, lung treatment in 2005, and received coronary stents in 2010. In 2021, he was treated for a severe urological infection. Despite these challenges, Clinton has maintained an active schedule, recently promoting his book, Citizen: My Life After the White House.
As updates continue, Clinton’s team reassures the public of his good spirits, sparking hope for a swift recovery.
