The Carter Center has provided an update on former President Jimmy Carter’s health.

On Saturday, the center said in a statement, “After a series of short hospital stays, former US President Jimmy Carter today decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention.”

The statement continues, “He has the full support of his family and his medical team. The Carter family asks for privacy during this time and is grateful for the concern shown by his many admirers.”

As CNN noted, Carter survived brain cancer in 2015.

However, the former president later experienced a series of health related scares in 2019 and underwent surgery on his brain to relieve pressure.

Carter turned 98 years old in 2022.
