According to a statement made by his spokesperson to CNN, former President Bill Clinton was admitted to a hospital in Washington, District of Columbia, on Monday afternoon. He is still being evaluated and monitored at the facility during his stay there.
In an interview with CNN, Angel Urena, who serves as the deputy chief of staff to Clinton, stated that the president is in good health. She also mentioned that the former president is optimistic about returning home before Christmas. He is still in a positive frame of mind and expresses his profound gratitude for the outstanding care that he is receiving.
When Clinton, who was 78 years old at the time, was transported to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, he was at his residence in Washington. According to a statement made by an aide, it is anticipated that he would remain in the hospital for at least the night. The former president was described as “awake and alert.”
It didn’t take long for the massive Clinton alumni network to become aware of the former president’s illness, which occurred two days before Christmas. The condition of the former president was described as “not urgent or dire by any means,” according to a longtime colleague of Clinton to whom the statement was made.
In the nearly twenty-five years since he left the White House, the 42nd President of the United States has been confronted with a number of health concerns.
At the same time that he underwent quadruple bypass surgery for his heart in New York in 2004, he also suffered a partially collapsed lung the following year. In 2010, he underwent yet another treatment involving his heart, which involved the insertion of two stents into a coronary artery.
In the year 2021, he was admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles for six days due to a urinary infection that had spread to his bloodstream.
During the fall campaign season, Clinton was extremely active on the campaign trail and gave a speech at the Democratic National Convention, which took place in Chicago in August. Since the election, he has maintained a comprehensive travel program in conjunction with the publication of his new book, which is titled “Citizen: My Life After the White House.”
