About this event

  • 2 hours 30 minutes

Join our conversation series and learn about health research with communities that don't usually get to be part of it. In the past, these communities haven't been a part of research because of mistrust and a lack of access to health care. The All of Us Research Program wants to change that. They want to build trust and get these communities involved in health research. Our speakers will explain why it's important for all of us to take part in health research. They'll talk about how the information shared by All of Us participants helps researchers make new discoveries. Local faith leaders will be leading these talks. This faith-based program from All of Us wants to create partnerships to help improve the health of communities for years to come.

Join us at Wilde Lake Interfaith Center, 10431 Twin Rivers Road, in Columbia, MD, USA for a thought-provoking event exploring the fascinating world of ancestry and genetics research.
