Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, at 98 years old, has chosen to stop medical treatment and transition to hospice care. According to a statement from the Carter Center, this decision came after a brief hospital stay.
The statement reads, “Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter chose today to spend his final days at home with his family and accept hospice care rather than additional medical intervention.
” This marks a poignant moment for Carter, who has lived a remarkable life of public service, advocacy, and humanitarian work since his presidency.
