Former president Jimmy Carter started getting treatment at a hospice. Following “a succession of brief hospital admissions,” the Carter Center revealed in a statement released on Saturday that the 98-year-old former president would be transferred to hospice care”.

According to the statement, former US President Jimmy Carter “decided today to forego any further medical treatment to spend his remaining time at home with his family and to accept hospice care.”. His family and those who are supporting him do so without wavering.

The final line of the statement read, “The Carter family requests privacy during this time and is appreciative of the kindness shown by his many supporters. The Carter family, to whom President Carter was very close, will deeply miss him.

The President Carter health update comes after he achieved a milestone by becoming the President of the United States with the longest tenure in October.

Since President George H.W. Bush passed away in March 2019, when he took the oath of office, he has been serving in this capacity. W. Bush passed away in November 2018 at the age of 94.

Since President Carter and Rosalynn Carter founded the Carter Center in 1982, the Carter Center has made a significant contribution to numerous humanitarian causes over the course of its four-decade existence.

President Carter only held office for four years, but over the past forty years, he has used his legacy to support citizens of the US and other countries.

President Carter lived an unusually long life after leaving the White House, which allowed him to write 30 books, the latest of which was published when he was 93, and return to the straightforward American way of life that he and Rosalynn have always cherished.

He has lived after leaving the White House for 41 years and counting, living longer than Herbert Hoover, who came in second. Furthermore, President Carter restored the straightforward American way of life.

The Carters gave their time to Habitat for Humanity for one week every year from 2000 until the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020. Additionally, the president taught Sunday school in Plains, Georgia, where he was raised, during those years. A few hundred people live in Georgia’s Plains, a small rural community.
