The All of Us Research Program is a historic, longitudinal effort to gather data from one million or more people living in the United States to create a diverse health database that represents us all.
By taking into account individual differences in life circumstances, socioeconomics, environment, and biology, researchers may uncover paths toward delivering precision medicine – or individualized prevention, treatment, and care – for all of us.
This research is supported by National Institute of Health (NIH) along with other well-known groups such LULAC and the National Hispanic Nurses Association. |

~ Al Muniz ~
He made it to Ontario, CA!

These are my new, best friends from France. I had stopped for a rest break and somewhere near Ludlow a tourist bus pulled up behind me, and it was full of French tourists. I was getting off my motorcycle and they asked if they could take a picture of me and the bike. I said sure, then I invited one lady to come sit on the motorcycle, and she was all excited and wanted to take a picture with me. Well, she got her picture on the motorcycle and then another one wanted her picture and another one. I think they all got their pictures taken, and they were all happy. I, of course, cannot speak French and they could not speak English, but we communicated somehow.
I am in Ontario, California now, taking off Tuesday, May 16th at 0800 for Washington, DC!

REQUESTING YOUR HELP
Army Uniform Needed
Member Debra Gallegos is directing a play. She has been looking for a dress uniform for an actor playing the part of a young soldier but they are hard to find and very expensive.
She is hoping someone might know where she can borrow or rent one. She will take very good care of it and return as soon as the play is over at the end of June. She is looking for a size 34 Jacket/34 Waist/30 Length.
Debra also needs an old army or camo jacket or jacket-like shirt that she can rent or borrow. A medium or large will work.
She needs them as soon as possible.
Thanks for any help you can give us!
Sincerely,
