Former President Bill Clinton, 78, has been discharged from MedStar Georgetown University Hospital after receiving treatment for the flu, his spokesperson Angel Ureña announced Tuesday. Clinton had been admitted Monday evening for tests and observation following a fever.
The 42nd president has a documented history of health challenges, particularly cardiac issues. In 2004, he underwent quadruple bypass surgery at age 58, followed by another procedure in 2014 to address a clogged artery. His last significant hospitalization was in 2021, when he spent six days in a California facility treating a blood infection.
Since leaving office in 2001, Clinton has maintained an active public life, established the Clinton Foundation and partnering with the American Heart Association. He adopted a vegan diet after his second heart surgery, crediting the lifestyle change with extending his life. Recently, he has been campaigning for Vice-President Kamala Harris’s presidential bid and released his latest book, “Citizen: My Life After the White House.”
