Former President Jimmy Carter was hospitalized after falling in his home Monday evening.
The former president, 95, was diagnosed with a pelvic fracture and remains in the hospital.
“Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter had a fall yesterday evening at his home in Plains, Ga,” the Carter Center tweeted Tuesday morning. “He has been admitted to Phoebe Sumter Medical Center for observation and treatment of a minor pelvic fracture. He is in good spirits and is looking forward to recovering at home.”

This is the second time Carter was hospitalized after a fall this month. On Oct. 6, Carter “fell down and hit my forehead on a sharp edge,” which required 14 stitches in his forehead, he shared while speaking to Habitat for Humanity volunteers and supporters a day later. He was also left with a black eye.
Back in May, Carter underwent surgery after he fell and broke his hip at home as he was preparing to go turkey hunting.
