The Vanderburgh County Health Department has seen a significant decline in the infant mortality rate over the past year.
This is calculated based on the number of infant deaths for every 1,000 live births within a specific year.
This marks the lowest rate recorded in Vanderburgh County in over a decade.
The decline is linked to a comprehensive community collaboration model designed to bridge gaps in maternal healthcare and family support.
Infant mortality rate is considered one of the most sensitive indicators of a society’s overall health.
