OUR MISSION
The One Health Academy promotes interdisciplinary collaboration among health professionals, industry, and policy makers by promoting public health, as well as environmental, food, agricultural, and economic protection.
January is now officially One Health Awareness Month!
To promote collaboration between animal, environmental, plant and public health scientists, on December 19, 2019 the U.S. Senate unanimously passed the bipartisan Senate Resolution 462 introduced by Senators Dianne Feinstein (Democrat-California) and Martha McSally (Republican-Arizona) designating January 2020 as “National One Health Awareness Month” in the U.S.
Use the One Health Awareness Month Guide provided by the One Health Commission to get involved and learn more.
Let's start the new decade with positive One Health actions!
