Former President Jimmy Carter Enters Home Hospice Care
Beloved Statesman and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate
Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States and a renowned humanitarian, has entered home hospice care.
Carter, 98, is receiving care in Plains, Georgia, where he has spent much of his life and served as a peanut farmer before his political career.
He and his wife, Rosalynn, have been married for 76 years, and they have four children.
Carter served as president from 1977 to 1981. He is known for his work on the Camp David Accords, which brought peace between Israel and Egypt, and for his commitment to human rights and social justice.
Since leaving office, Carter has remained active in public life. He has worked with The Carter Center, a non-profit organization he founded, to promote peace and democracy around the world.
“The Carter Center, a non-profit organization founded by Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter in 1982, has been involved in a wide range of projects, including election monitoring, conflict resolution, and disease eradication.
His humanitarian efforts have earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
Carter's decision to enter hospice care is a reminder of his mortality. It is also a testament to his strength and resilience, as he faces his final days with grace and dignity.
We wish President Carter and his family all the best during this difficult time.
