All of Us Journey Mobile Tour Visits Iowa Starting September 2024

The All of Us Journey, an educational exhibit by the National Institutes of Health, is set to visit Iowa from September 10 to September 20, 2024. This initiative aims to engage communities in health research by showcasing interactive activities, videos, and quizzes that highlight the importance of participation in health studies. The Journey will be hosted at two locations in Council Bluffs: the Council Bluffs Public Library and All Care Health Center, providing opportunities for attendees to learn about the All of Us Research Program and register as participants. The All of Us Research Program seeks to recruit a diverse group of at least one million participants across the United States. This program is designed to enhance understanding of health and disease by examining how various factors influence health outcomes. By reflecting the diversity of the population, the program aims to gather valuable data that can lead to more personalized healthcare solutions. The initiative is managed by Montage Marketing Group in collaboration with Scripps Research Translational Institute and is funded by a National Institutes of Health award. The program emphasizes the significance of community involvement in health research, encouraging individuals to contribute to a collective effort that could transform health outcomes for future generations. As the All of Us Journey travels across the nation, it aims to foster awareness and participation in health research, ultimately striving to improve health equity and outcomes for all individuals. The upcoming events in Iowa represent a crucial step in this nationwide effort to engage communities and promote the importance of health research participation.
