Residents of Lincoln Park Census Tract 156 are in the lowest half percent of life expectancy for all Minnesotans. On average, the at-birth life expectancy for those living in the lower portion of the Lincoln Park neighborhood is less than 70-years.
The LNPK 156 Project seeks to change that by creating and implementing a hyper-local health accelerator plan aimed at extending the quality and length of life experienced by our residents.
LNPK 156 is led by St. Louis County Public Health and Ecolibrium3, with funding provided by the CDC. Planning efforts include neighborhood residents and organizations, healthcare institutions, and experts from multiple sectors.
The final plan will be completed by end of summer with implementation efforts to begin in early fall.
