Life expectancy data in Indianapolis shows significant disparities between neighborhoods. In some areas, including the near north side, residents are only expected to live into their 60s.

It’s been nearly a year since the launch of the Indy Health District, an initiative that hopes to change those statistics.

The Indy Health District’s goal is to make sure large investments into the city’s near north side, including a new downtown Indianapolis Hospital, don’t leave people who live in the area behind.
