Columbia, SC is one stop on the All of Us Journey’s 37-week national tour. Eau Claire Cooperative Health Center invites you to attend this event to learn more about the All of Us Research Program and its potential to advance precision medicine in the future.

WHY
As this traveling exhibit makes its way across the nation, it will provide community members with information on the All of Us Research Program. Unlike a single research study focused on a specific disease or community, All of Us will serve as a national research resource to inform thousands of studies, covering a wide range of health conditions.
