On Monday afternoon, former U.S. President Bill Clinton was admitted to a hospital in Washington, D.C., for evaluation and monitoring after developing a fever, according to his spokesperson.

Angel Urena, Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, reassured CNN, stating, “The president is doing well.” She further mentioned that Clinton plans to be home for Christmas, emphasizing that he “is in good spirits and greatly values the outstanding care he is receiving.”

The 78-year-old former president was at his Washington residence when he was taken to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital. He is expected to stay overnight and is reported to be “awake and alert,” an aide shared.

Bill Clinton, the 42nd President of the United States, has faced notable health challenges throughout his life but continues to maintain an active and engaged lifestyle. In 2004, he underwent a life-saving quadruple bypass surgery to address severe coronary artery disease, marking a pivotal moment in his health journey.

Six years later, in 2010, he successfully recovered from a minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure to repair an abdominal hernia. More recently, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Clinton contracted the virus. Fortunately, his symptoms were mild, and he navigated the illness with ease.

A strong advocate for heart health, Clinton emphasizes the importance of staying active, incorporating regular exercise, and following a balanced diet. In August of this year, he delivered a speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago and remained heavily involved in campaign activities throughout the fall season.

After the election, Clinton continued his dynamic schedule, traveling extensively to promote his latest book, Citizen: My Life After the White House. His dedication to both his personal health and public service reflects his unwavering commitment to staying active and engaged with contemporary issues.
