In May 2019, Carter underwent surgery to repair a broken hip. However, only a few days ago, he was seen building homes for Habitat for Humanity, a charity organization he has been involved with for many years.
Expert Opinion
Dr. Richard Carmona, a former US Surgeon General, says that Carter’s recent hospitalization is not unusual given his age and his underlying health condition. However, as Carter is a diabetic and has had health issues in the past, any hospitalization is a cause for concern.

Despite his advanced age and past health issues, former President Carter has always shown remarkable recovery and will hopefully recover soon from his current health condition. The nation has always admired Carter for his commitment to social justice and his tireless humanitarian efforts. We wish him a quick and full recovery from his current ailment.
