GREELEY, Colo. (Feb. 5, 2020) – North Colorado Medical Center, the first and only site in Colorado enrolling volunteers to the national All of Us Research Program, is celebrating the first anniversary of its launch.

The event will provide program updates from Project Manager of the UA – Banner Health All of Us Research Program Britton Carter, question and answer session from the program team and refreshments.
