Editor’s note: This story was updated on June 21 to correct the location for the event at Altierus Career College. That event, hosted by the Hispanic Health Coalition, will be held at the Norcross campus at 1750 Beaver Ruin Road.

National Institutes of Health’s All of Us Research Program is a historic effort to gather data from one million or more people living in the United States to accelerate research and improve health. By taking into account individual differences in lifestyle, environment, and biology, researchers will uncover paths toward delivering precision medicine.. The All of Us Journey is an interactive mobile unit that has been touring the United States for over a month to spread the word about the historic medical research program, All of Us.

The Journey will be making several stops in Atlanta. The travelling, hands-on exhibit will be educating different communities about the program to gather data from 1 million or more people in the country to accelerate research and improve health.
