Former Boston Mayor Kevin White has been hospitalized in Florida after breaking ribs and injuring his back in a fall inside his Jupiter vacation home on Tuesday, said George Regan, a spokesman for the family.

A spokeswoman for St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach said White remains in fair condition.

White, 75, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease, is alert but in pain, Regan said. His family is trying to get him transferred to Massachusetts General Hospital for further treatment.
