Jimmy Carter was back at a Habitat for Humanity worksite Friday, a day after the former president was hospitalized for dehydration while working with the organization to build homes for needy families in Canada.
Carter, 92, was discharged earlier in the morning from St. Boniface General Hospital, where he was treated "as a precaution" for dehydration, Carter spokeswoman Deanna Congileo said.
"He and Mrs. Carter extend their appreciation for the many well-wishes he received worldwide," Congileo said in a statement.
The Carters were in Edmonton, where Habitat for Humanity is building 75 homes, from Monday to Wednesday before coming to Winnipeg.
He was treated by paramedics who took him away in an ambulance, without using lights or siren, the newspaper said.
Carter continued to volunteer for Habitat for Humanitywhile being treated for cancer, working alongside volunteers at a home in Memphis, Tenn., in November 2015.
