Every body tells a story… what's yours?
What is the All of Us Research Program?
The All of Us Research Program is a large research program. The goal is to help researchers understand more about why people get sick or stay healthy. People who join will give us information about their health, habits, and what it’s like where they live. By looking at patterns, researchers may learn more about what affects people’s health. Baylor Scott & White Health is a proud participant of the All of Us Research Program, from the National Institute of Health.

All of Us wants to bring precision medicine to every American. But what is precision medicine?
The All of Us anthem
At the moment, healthcare is often one-size-fits-all. But imagine a future where your healthcare 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 program.
