NIH's All of Us Journey Comes to Central New Mexico Community College
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Nov. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- This week, Central New Mexico Community College (CNM) and the National Alliance for Hispanic Health 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—an ambitious effort to gather data from 1 million or more people living in the United States to accelerate research and improve health.
"All of Us is so important to shaping the future of health in the United States," said Dr. Jane L. Delgado, President and CEO of the National Alliance for Hispanic Health, the nation's leading Hispanic health advocacy group. "This research program will bring together communities throughout the United States to drive new discoveries, which may lead to earlier disease identification, more precise treatment solutions and better health outcomes for all in the future."
Albuquerque, New Mexico is one stop on the All of Us Journey's 37-week national tour. Central New Mexico Community College and the National Alliance for Hispanic Health invite you to attend this event to learn more about the All of Us Research Program and its potential to advance precision medicine in the future.
