Former President Jimmy Carter was admitted to a hospital over the weekend to treat a urinary tract infection. A statement to ABC News said the 95-year-old was admitted to Phoebe Sumter Medical Center in Georgia. “He is feeling better and looks forward to returning home soon,” the statement said. “We will issue a statement when he is released for further rest and recovery at home.” The former president was discharged from another Georgia hospital on Nov. 27, where he underwent surgery to treat brain pressure caused by a subdural hematoma, according to the Carter Center. He became the oldest living U.S. president in history in March, after beating brain cancer that was diagnosed in 2015.
