The Carter Center said Saturday that former President Jimmy Carter has entered home hospice care. Carter 'decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care.'
ATLANTA — The Carter Center said Saturday that former President Jimmy Carter has entered home hospice care.
It said he has the full support of his medical team and family, which"asks for privacy at this time and is grateful for the concern shown by his many admirers." In August 2015, Carter had a small cancerous mass removed from his liver. The following year, Carter announced that he needed no further treatment, as an experimental drug had eliminated any sign of cancer.
The Carter Center, which the 39th president and the former first lady established after their one White House term, last year marked 40 years of promoting democracy and conflict resolution, monitoring elections, and advancing public health in the developing world.
