President Joe Biden accompanied his wife to the outpatient center on Wednesday morning.

The White House did not specify the first lady's procedure.

Jill Biden, 69, "tolerated the procedure well," a White House spokeswoman said in a statement to People magazine.

The Bidens spent about two hours at the outpatient clinic.

The White House announced the procedure Tuesday in a change to the president's public schedule.
