Bill Clinton, ex-President, hospitalized at Georgetown University Medical Center due to fever.

WASHINGTON — Former President Bill Clinton has been hospitalized after developing a fever, a spokesperson said Monday.

Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, D.C., admitted Clinton, 78, on Monday afternoon for “testing and observation after developing a fever,” according to his deputy chief of staff, Angel Ureña.

“He remains in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving,” the statement continued.

Clinton has had several health issues over the past two decades, mostly related to heart problems.

Clinton’s medical history includes a quadruple bypass surgery in September 2004 and the placement of two coronary stents in his heart in February 2010. Additionally, he underwent surgery for a collapsed lung in 2005.

In 2021, he was hospitalized in California for several days with a blood infection.

He served as president from January 1993 to January 2001.

Clinton spoke at the Democratic National Convention in August — marking his 13th time giving remarks at the event.

Reflecting on his time in the White House, Clinton expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve, emphasizing the importance of helping others during challenging times. He highlighted the impact of being able to make a positive difference in someone else’s life, even amidst the darkest days.

Toward the end of his nearly 30-minute speech, he said, “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.”
