Statement: President Clinton Released from the Hospital

President Bill Clinton was released late this afternoon from NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center and is continuing his recuperation at home in Chappaqua, New York.

“I’m glad to be home and look forward to getting back to work within the next month or so,” said President Clinton. Senator Clinton accompanied him from the hospital to their home. “Hillary, Chelsea and I are very grateful to the medical team that cared for me at the hospital, and we deeply appreciate all the prayers and good wishes we’ve received in recent days.”

President Clinton’s recovery is proceeding normally; he has begun walking each day. As his doctors have said, he is expected to remain at home for the next four to six weeks.

Nearly 10,000 people have sent “get well” messages to President Clinton through his web site, clintonfoundation.org. At the request of the Clintons, in lieu of flowers or gifts, people wishing to do so may donate to the American Heart Association at www.americanheart.org.
