Eddie Mullholland-WPA Pool/Getty Images(CNN) - Former President Jimmy Carter, who underwent hip surgery last spring following a fall, plans to resume his decades-long role as a volunteer house builder with Habitat for Humanity this fall, a spokeswoman for the Carter Center said Tuesday.
The 94-year-old Democrat is set to construct 21 new homes alongside his wife, former first lady Rosalynn Carter, in Nashville, Tennessee, in October.
This year's build will come several months after the former president underwent successful hip surgery in May after falling at his home in Plains, Georgia.
Carter, who became the oldest living president in U.S. history in March, last participated in the 2018 Carter Work Project in Mishawaka, Indiana, alongside Rosalynn.
In addition to the hip surgery earlier this year, Carter has also undergone several other medical treatments, including successful treatment in 2015 for cancer spots on his brain and a separate operation that same year to remove a "small mass" from his liver.
