Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has entered hospice care at the age of 98, according to a statement from the Carter Center. The statement indicated that Carter was admitted to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta for treatment of pressure on his brain caused by multiple falls. The statement also noted that Carter was resting comfortably and was being attended by his wife, Rosalynn.
Carter has been an active humanitarian and philanthropist since leaving the White House in 1981. He founded the Carter Center in 1982 to promote peace and human rights around the world. He has also been active in disaster relief efforts, and in 2002 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in conflict resolution.
Carter is the longest-lived president in U.S. history, and his advanced age has been a concern for many years. He has suffered from several health issues in recent years, including a cancer diagnosis in 2015. Despite his health challenges, Carter has remained active and continued to travel and work for various causes.
The news of Carter's hospice care has sparked an outpouring of support and well-wishes from people around the world. Many are expressing gratitude for Carter's lifetime of service and wishing him comfort in his final days.
