How Nearby Health Care Facilities Can Help You Live Longer
In 2021, The New York Times reported that between 1920 and 2020, the average human lifespan doubled. We’re living longer than ever before! To keep up with this impressive longevity, it’s crucial to take proactive steps in managing our health care.
