Former President Bill Clinton has been hospitalized for observation and testing after developing a fever. The 75-year-old was admitted to the University of California Irvine Medical Center on Tuesday evening and is currently in stable condition.
According to a statement from Clinton’s spokesperson, Angel Urena, the fever is believed to be related to a urinary tract infection that he has been battling. Clinton was diagnosed with the infection last week and has been receiving treatment at home.
The decision to hospitalize Clinton was made out of an abundance of caution, as his doctors wanted to closely monitor his condition and conduct further tests to determine the underlying cause of the fever. Urena added that Clinton is in good spirits and is expected to make a full recovery.
Clinton’s health has been a topic of concern in recent years, as he has undergone several surgeries, including a quadruple bypass in 2004 and a stent procedure in 2010. Despite these health issues, Clinton has remained active in public life, campaigning for his wife, Hillary Clinton, during her presidential run in 2016 and continuing his work with the Clinton Foundation.
The news of Clinton’s hospitalization has prompted an outpouring of support and well-wishes from politicians, celebrities, and the public. Many have expressed their hope for a speedy recovery for the former president, who is known for his resilience and determination.
As Clinton undergoes testing and observation at the hospital, his medical team will work to ensure that he receives the best possible care and treatment. Once the cause of his fever is determined, they will develop a plan for his recovery and follow-up care.
In the meantime, Clinton’s loved ones and supporters are hopeful that he will soon be back on his feet and continuing his work in public service. As a beloved figure in American politics, his health is a concern for many, and his recovery will be watched closely by all who admire him.
