Billy Graham Hospitalized in N.C. for Pneumonia; Physician Says Graham Alert, Resting Comfortably

Evangelist Billy Graham has been admitted to an Asheville, North Carolina hospital for treatment for pneumonia, the Associated Press website reports.

Doctors say the 92-year-old Graham came to Mission Hospital today (May 11, 2011) after suffering a health episode overnight.

Dr. Lucian Rice -- Graham's primary physician -- said no date has been set for Graham's release. He also said the evangelist is alert and resting comfortably.

Graham spokesman Larry Ross said age-related conditions -- such as macular degeneration and hearing loss -- have kept Graham at his home in nearby Montreat, North Carolina during the past few years. He added Graham has remained in good health overall.
