Former President Bill Clinton was hospitalized after developing a fever, top aide Angel Ureña confirmed to NBC News on Monday (December 23).
Clinton, 78, was “admitted to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital” in Washington, D.C., for testing and observation after developing a fever,” according to Ureña, who serves as the former president’s deputy chief of staff.
“He is in good spirits and grateful for the care he is receiving,” Ureña added.
Another source close to Clinton claimed that the situation was “not urgent.”
“The former president will be fine,” the source told NBC News. “He developed a fever and wanted to be checked out. He is awake and alert.”
Clinton had previously suffered a health scare that resulted in his hospitalization in 2021, which resulted in the former president receiving treatment for an infection at UC Irvine Medical Center.
“President Clinton is continuing to receive treatment for an infection at UC Irvine Medical Center. All health indicators are trending in the right direction, including his white blood count which has decreased significantly,” Ureña confirmed in a post shared on his X, then-Twitter account at the time.
Clinton also underwent a quadruple bypass operation in 2004 at New York Presbyterian Hospital, returning to the same facility to have two stents inserted into a coronary artery six years later.
