Why All of Us at Smart Medicine in Northern Virginia?
Quote from Devin Marble
We see ourselves as a nexus to bring the latest innovations in diagnosis, treatment, and research under one roof for all people in northern Virginia. The All of Us Research Program gives us a chance to join other leading organizations in the quest to realize the promise of precision medicine.
Smart Medicine was founded in northern Virginia as a key location with access to research universities in DC and the surrounding area. The proximity to regulatory, legislative, and medical organizations influenced our desire to stay where we know we're connected to knowledge, information, and a drive to promote and work towards the promises of precision medicine.
There is no one single approach to reaching optimal public health. This sensible insight reflects the wide diversity of our area, with an influx of military families, immigrants, and ethnically and culturally richness speaks to a similarly diversified way of conceiving what health means for our area.
Though our concerns and focus is local, Smart Medicine sees a great opportunity in spreading the wealth of data that All of Us will bring to bear on our larger global village.
Let's work together.
We are asking people from all over the United States to join All of Us so that our research reflects the diversity of our country. People who join will give us information about their health, habits, and what it's like where they live. By looking for patterns, researchers may learn more about what affects people's health.
