The Former President entered hospice care in February 2023 after halting aggressive treatment for metastatic melanoma. He has surpassed expectations as he approaches his 100th birthday this October.

Despite initial prognoses, Carter has not only celebrated his 99th birthday but also faced personal tragedy with the passing of his wife, Rosalynn Carter. 

Angela Novas, senior medical officer of the Hospice Foundation of America, emphasized the widespread misunderstanding surrounding hospice care despite its benefits, stressing the importance of advanced care planning.

She also pointed out that Carter’s decision to choose hospice care instead of continuing ineffective treatments has brought significant attention to the importance and benefits of hospice and palliative care.

Novas explained further, “By outliving his initial prognosis and by receiving hospice care for over a year now, he has done much to dispel the myth that hospice is only for people who are bedbound and actively dying.”

Dr. Joan Teno, an expert in geriatric care, highlighted Carter’s exceptional survival on hospice. Describing Carter as an “Outlier,” she noted in an email to UPI that “only a small percentage of hospice patients survive more than 15 months.” 

She attributed Carter’s longevity to “excellent medical care” and his “will to live,” underscoring hospice’s focus on enhancing quality of life for those with a limited life expectancy.

Despite not having direct information about Carter’s condition, Teno shared her insights on his possible health trajectory. 

“I suspect that President Carter is following the disease trajectory of [metastatic melanoma, which leads to] progressive fragility, where he needs help in his everyday functions and uses a wheelchair,” the doctor shared. 

Drawing from family members’ comments, Teno suggested that Carter likely spends “most of his days sleeping.” 

The adjunct professor at Brown University’s School of Public Health also noted that hospice patients who become less alert and sleep more are nearing the end of life.

As Carter marked one year in hospice care in February, his remarkable endurance was widely praised. 

The Blast reported that Professor Douglas Brinkley, a history professor at Rice University, was among those who commended him. During his appearance on CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” Brinkley remarked:

“It is tough when you’re 99, but Carter has a lot of will. He’s alert and eating and has an ability to understand what’s going on around him. I’m hoping he makes it to October 1st, 2024, so we can have Jimmy Carter at 100 years old, and we can celebrate.“

The Presidential Historian expressed awe at Carter’s continued focus on the world’s happening even after previously overcoming cancer.

Concluding his update, Brinkley praised Carter for his numerous achievements during his presidency and his enduring bond with the public.
