When we protect ONE, we help protect ALL
Nov. 3, 2024, marks the ninth annual One Health Day. One Health Day is a global campaign that celebrates and brings attention to the need for the One Health approach where many experts work together to address shared health threats and improve the health of people, animals, plants, and their shared environment. The One Health approach can address a wide range of public health concerns like antimicrobial resistance, environmental health, food safety, mental health, vector-borne diseases, zoonotic diseases, and much more.
Communication, coordination, and collaboration among partners working in animal, human, and environmental health as well as other relevant areas are an essential part of the One Health approach. Working together allows us to have the biggest impact on improving health for people, animals, plants, and our shared environment.
Visit CDC: One Health Day for more information, and check out CDC: One Health in Action Stories to learn how experts and partners work to address One Health issues around the world!
The Minnesota One Health Antibiotic Stewardship Collaborative (MOHASC) is a great example of One Health in action right here in Minnesota! MOHASC is made up of leaders in human, animal, and environmental health who work together to promote judicious antibiotic use and stewardship and to reduce the impact of antibiotic-resistant pathogens across the One Health spectrum. If you’re not already a member and are interested in being a part of these efforts, complete this brief membership information form indicating your interests: MOHASC Partner Information Form. There are exciting things happening, and we hope you’ll join us!
