NIH’s All of Us Journey Exhibit Comes to NYC’s Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian
When: Wed., Aug. 1, 2018 - Thu., Aug. 2, 2018 at 11:00 am - 5:00 pm
On August 1st and 2nd, Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian will host the National Institutes of Health’s All of Us Journey, a traveling, hands-on exhibit to raise awareness about the All of Us Research Program. All of Us 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 you live, what you do, and your family health history.
New York City is one stop on the All of Us Journey’s national tour. Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian invites you to attend this event to learn more about the All of Us Research Program and how it could enable research to more precisely prevent and treat a variety of health conditions.
