Former President Bush Hospitalized For Low Blood Pressure, 'Not In Any Discomfort'

Former President George H.W. Bush was taken to Southern Maine Health Care in Biddeford Sunday afternoon after experiencing low blood pressure, according to a social media post from spokesperson, Jim McGrath.

Last week Bush, 93, arrived at his family’s property in Kennebunkport, where he is spending the summer. 

Bush's wife, Barbara, died in April at age 92. The day after her funeral, Bush was hospitalized in Houston for 13 days.
