All of Us Journey

CCACC Health Center will host the National Institutes of Health’s All of Us Journey, a traveling, hands-on exhibit that raises awareness about the All of Us Research Program. The experience will allow interested visitors to join the program right on board, where they can answer surveys and give their physical measurements and blood and urine samples. The All of Us Journey will be in Gaithersburg, MD on August 20-August 23, 2024, as part of its national tour.   

The All of Us Research Program aims to speed up health research and medical breakthroughs. To do so, All of Us is asking 1 million volunteers to share different types of health and lifestyle information—information like where they live, what they do, and their family health history.  The program is open to people both healthy and sick, from all communities. Unlike a single research study focused on a specific disease or community, the All of Us Research Program will create a research resource to inform thousands of studies, covering a wide range of health conditions. This information could help researchers learn more about different diseases and treatments and improve health for generations to come.   The future of health begins with us. If we want better health care for all of us, medical research needs to include all of us. The All of Us Journey is excited to work with CCACC to bring communities together to help change health for generations to come. The All of Us Journey engages community members nationwide and raises awareness about the All of Us Research Program through various educational activities and experiences.    To learn more about the All of Us Research Program, please visit JoinAllofUs.org/tour
