Did you know?

Health outcomes are not the same for everyone in Fairfield County. On average, Black residents have shorter life expectancy than white residents, and Black babies are more likely to die at birth. Factors such as race, income, and gender can also influence how people are treated as patients and the quality of care they receive within the medical system.
