De Queen, AR- Legacy Initiatives announced its partnership with the National Alliance for Hispanic Health (the Alliance) to host the National Institutes of Health’s All of Us Journey, a traveling, hands-on exhibit that raises awareness about the All of Us Research Program. All of Us is an unprecedented effort to gather genetic, biological, environmental, health and lifestyle data from 1 million or more volunteer participants living in the United States. The program’s ultimate goal is to accelerate research and improve health.

“We are bringing the All of Us Research Program directly to people all across the country
to continue our work to increase the inclusion of all communities in clinical and biomedical
research. Through the Journey traveling exhibit we will increase the participation of diverse
communities in All of Us to help build the foundation for a new era of health care where
medicine is tailored to each person,” said Dr. Jane L. Delgado, President and CEO of the
National Alliance for Hispanic Health.

All of Us seeks to transform the relationship between researchers and participants,
bringing them together as partners to inform the program’s directions, goals and
responsible return of research information. One of those partners is the National Alliance
for Hispanic Health who through their Todos Juntos effort is partnering with organizations
across the country, including Legacy Initiatives, to provide information on All of Us and demonstrate the central role Hispanic communities must play to usher in the future of health.

“Legacy Initiatives is excited to partner with the National Institute of Health (NIH) to bring to our community the All of Us research program. We want to see our community grow healthier and believe this is just one step we can take to do our part in impacting positive change in our community” - Dr. Jason Lofton, board member of Legacy Initiatives.

All of Us aims to reflect the rich diversity of the U.S. to help ensure that each community is
included in studies that lead to improved health for future generations. Participants will be
able to access their own health information, summary data about the entire participant community and information about studies and findings that come from All of Us.
