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.
Women's life expectancy continues to be higher than men's. Although life expectancy has increased over the total US population, women are still expected to live longer than men. The report reveals that in 2012, the life expectancy for females stood at 81.2 years, while the life expectancy for men was 76.4 years. This difference of 4.8 years is the same as reported in 2011.
