On Saturday, June 9, 2018, the National Alliance for Hispanic Health and the Chicago Hispanic Health Coalition will present ¡Vive Tu Vida! Get Up! Get Moving! The 12th annual event at McKinley Park in Chicago will promote Hispanic family physical activity and good nutrition for better health and wellness for all.
“For twelve years ¡Vive Tu Vida! Get Up! Get Moving!, has provided nutrition education, free health screenings, and wellness activities to communities across the nation,” said Dr. Jane L. Delgado, president and CEO of the nation’s leading Hispanic health advocacy group.
“To continue our work to increase the inclusion of Hispanics in clinical and biomedical research, we are bringing the All of Us Research Program to our communities. The participation of diverse communities in All of Us will help build the foundation for a new era of healthcare where medicine is tailored to each person.”
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) All of Us Research Program is an ambitious effort to advance individualized prevention, treatment, and care for people of all backgrounds. People ages 18 and older, regardless of health status, will be able to enroll.
By partnering with 1 million diverse people who share information about themselves over many years, the All of Us Research Program will enable researchers to more precisely prevent and treat diseases.
“These are times filled with stress for many and staying healthy is important – your body is your most important resource,” said Esther Sciammarella, executive director of the Chicago Hispanic Health Coalition. “Participants have an opportunity to increase medical knowledge by participating in All of Us. We hope people take advantage of this since it can lead to better medicines for them and their families.”
