1032.765 - 1065.911 Dr. Miguel Ruiz

Let's say a few blocks west from the hospital where I work in the Frogtown area of St. Paul, just north of I-94. You compare life expectancy of the community living there with the life expectancy of individuals living three and a half miles going west just before you cross the river. In that neighborhood, also north of I-94, just by the University of Minnesota, 13 year life expectancy difference.
