Bill and Hillary Clinton Visit Jesse Jackson at Chicago Hospital

Family statements say he remains stable under observation for progressive supranuclear palsy.

Overview

  • The Rainbow/PUSH Coalition said Jackson, 84, is under good care at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago.
  • He was moved out of intensive care earlier in the week and remains in stable condition, according to the family.
  • Jackson is being monitored for progressive supranuclear palsy after his diagnosis shifted from Parkinson’s in April, the family said.
  • During their visit, the Clintons expressed support for Rainbow/PUSH’s mission and Jackson’s decades of civil rights leadership, the family reported.
  • Relatives have been providing round-the-clock care, and his son says he cannot speak and struggles to keep his eyes open but communicates by squeezing hands.
