The Lincoln family remains actively involved in HonorHealth, supporting initiatives and offering guidance. In 1997, John C. Lincoln merged with Phoenix General Hospital to become a two hospital system as John C. Lincoln Health Network. Located near Interstate 17 and Loop 101, Deer Valley Medical Center offers comprehensive medical services and has 204 beds.
Today the life expectancy of a 50-year old has increased to 83. And another important change can be studied in this chart: health inequality decreased hugely. Look by how much life expectancy differed by age in 1845 â from 40 years for newborns to 79 for 70-year olds. Today this span is much smaller â from 81 to 86.
For men, the news is a little better: American menâs average life expectancy at birth in 2007 was 76.7 years, which brought them up from 32nd place a decade earlier to No. 24 worldwide.omen in Holmes County, Miss., which has the lowest life expectancy in the country, can expect to live 73.5 years â which was the average life span of women in the 10 longest-lived nations in 1957.
