ALSO: UW-Madison and Sessions at McPike Park invite the Madison community to visit the All of Us Journey and learn how you can help change the future of health,  5-10pm , August 14-15 .

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.
