Former President Bill Clinton was hospitalized in Washington for testing and observation on Monday afternoon after developing a fever, an aide said on social media.
“He remains in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving,” Angel Ureña, Mr. Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, said in a statement.
Mr. Clinton, 78, was admitted to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, Mr. Ureña said. NBC News first reported the news, quoting a person close to the former president who said, anonymously, that Mr. Clinton’s situation was not urgent and that he was awake and alert.
Mr. Clinton was admitted to a California hospital in 2021 for a urological infection that developed into sepsis, a life-threatening condition, but it was not considered acute.
He also suffers from heart disease, which was diagnosed in 2004 after he suffered from shortness of breath and chest pains. Mr. Clinton underwent a quadruple coronary bypass surgery, an open-heart procedure, that year to resolve the condition at a hospital in New York. In 2010 he had another heart procedure, the insertion of two stents into his native coronary artery, after experiencing chest pains.
Mr. Clinton also has a history of skin cancers, cysts, allergies and some hearing problems.
