Former President Jimmy Carter is back in the hospital — this time for a urinary tract infection. 

A spokeswoman for The Carter Center said, "He is feeling better and looks forward to returning home soon."

Carter, who is 95 years old, has been hospitalized multiple times in the last couple of months. 

He wasin and out of the hospital twice in October following two separate falls in his home. The first fall left him with a black eye and 14 stitches. Carter suffered a minor pelvic fracture from the second fall. 

And in November, Carter underwent surgery to relieve pressure on his brain. He spent more than two weeks recovering before he was released just in time for Thanksgiving.
