Addressing life expectancy gap between Scottsdale and Phoenix

More from this show

ASU is teaming up with Maricopa County to address the 14-year life expectancy gap between residents of north Scottsdale and south Phoenix. Research shows north Scottsdale residents on average live 14 years longer than south Phoenix residents.

ASU will partner with the Equality Health Foundation to do baseline assessments to help design programs that will be put in place. The main domains are health, equity, food, ecosystems, a built environment, educational access and retention.

We were joined by Deborah Williams, Ph.D., RN, Clinical Assistant Professor at the College of Health Solutions at ASU, and Tomás León, President of the Equality Health Foundation, with details.
