On February 28, 2023, the Carter Center revealed that Jimmy Carter was receiving hospice care due to flagging health. “After a series of short hospital stays, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter today decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention. 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,” the center wrote in a statement.
