Former President Bill Clinton was hospitalized Monday afternoon at a Washington, DC medical center after he came down with a fever.
“President Clinton was admitted to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital this afternoon for testing and observation after developing a fever,” his deputy chief of staff Angel Ureña wrote in an X post.
“He remains in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving.”
Clinton, 78, is said to be doing fine and was suspected of suffering from dehydration, a source told The Post.
The 42nd president is expected to be released from the hospital as soon as Tuesday.
Ureña told CNN that Clinton hoping to be back home by Christmas.
And a source close to the ex-president told NBC News the situation is “not urgent” and that he is “awake and alert.”
Clinton has faced other health problems since leaving the Oval Office in January 2001 after serving two terms as commander in chief.
He most recently landed in a California hospital in 2021 after a urinary tract infection spread to his bloodstream and was released about a week after he checked in for treatment.
In 2004, he underwent a successful quadruple heart bypass surgery that was described as a “relatively routine” four-hour procedure at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University.
And six years later he was taken to the same Manhattan hospital where surgeons inserted two stents into a clogged artery, according to his doctors at the time.
Clinton, who is married to former secretary of state and ex-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, campaigned this fall on behalf of Vice President Kamala Harris during her failed run for president.
He also released a new memoir last month called “Citizen: My Life After the White House” and plans on releasing a thriller novel with renowned author James Patterson titled “The First Gentleman” next year.
