The 39th president won’t seek further medical interventions after series of hospital stays
Former President Jimmy Carter, after health setbacks and a series of hospital stays, has decided to “spend his remaining time” at home with his family and receive hospice care rather than seek further medical interventions, the Carter Center said Saturday.
The center said in a tweet Saturday that Mr. Carter, 98 years old, has the “full support of his family and his medical team.” Mr. Carter is the oldest living former president, as well as the longest-lived former president in the country’s history.
