NIH’s All of Us Journey Comes to the Jamaica Plain VA Medical Center

On May 22, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs 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.

Boston is one stop on the All of Us Journey’s national tour. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs 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.

WHAT
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs invites the Boston community to visit the All of Us Journey and learn how you can help change the future of health.

WHEN
Wednesday, May 22
8:30am – 2:30pm

WHERE
Jamaica Plain VA Medical Center
150 S Huntington Ave
Boston, MA 02130

WHY
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 better understand health differences and improve health for generations to come.
