National Institute Of Health Seeking Participants To Share Info With All Of Us Research Program - Roosevelt Island Residents Invited To Learn More In April 17 Virtual Information Session Presented By Weill Cornell Medicine, Cornell Tech and RI Senior Association

According to the National Institute Of Health's All Of Us Research program:

At the moment, health care is often one-size-fits-all. But imagine a future where your health care is tailored to you. We want to make that future possible. How? By creating a resource that allows researchers to conduct thousands of studies on health and disease.

We expect the program to last at least 10 years, and we hope you’ll stick with us throughout the study....
