Evangelist Billy Graham is being treated at a North Carolina hospital for a pulmonary infection, officials disclosed Sunday.
Graham, 93, was admitted overnight to Mission Hospital in Asheville, N.C., near his home in Montreat, for evaluation and treatment of what is thought to be bronchitis, the hospital said in a statement.
David Pucci, the pulmonologist treating Graham, said that he is resting comfortably, that appropriate antibiotics are being administered and that his condition is stable.
Graham was previously hospitalized for successful treatment of pneumonia in November. He resumed his ongoing program of physical therapy and normal activity shortly after his release, according to his staff.
No date has been set for discharge.
