WASHINGTON - Former President Bill Clinton was discharged Tuesday from MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington after being treated for the flu.
"He and his family are deeply grateful for the exceptional care provided by the team at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and are touched by the kind messages and well wishes he received," Angel Urena, Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, said in an online post to X. "He sends his warmest wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season to all."
Clinton was admitted Monday after developing a fever. The 78-year-old was hospitalized "for testing and observation."

Clinton's previous health problems
Clinton, a Democrat who served two terms as president from January 1993 until January 2001, addressed the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this summer and campaigned ahead of November’s election for the unsuccessful White House bid of Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.
Since leaving the White House, Clinton has faced several health scares. In 2004, he underwent quadruple bypass surgery after experiencing prolonged chest pains and shortness of breath. He returned to the hospital for surgery for a partially collapsed lung in 2005, and in 2010, he had a pair of stents implanted in a coronary artery.
