One Health Day, celebrated on Nov. 3, brings attention to the approach that recognizes that the health of people is closely connected to the health of animals and our shared environment. To bring attention to One Health Day, University of Hawaiʻi–West Oʻahu students created digital fliers to share.

The students of Dr. Jourdan McMillan’s Biology 302: The One Health Approach to Infectious Disease created fliers and infographics to spread awareness to fellow UH West Oʻahu students, faculty, staff, and the general public about the One Health concept, which is especially important during the current pandemic.

One Health is a collaborative, multisectoral, and transdisciplinary approach — working at the local, regional, national, and global levels — with the goal of achieving optimal health outcomes recognizing the interconnection between people, animals, plants, and their shared environment.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s One Health Office leads the agency’s One Health efforts in the United States and abroad.

One Health is not new, but it has become more important in recent years because many factors have changed interactions between people, animals, plants, and our environment.

One Health Day is a global campaign that celebrates and brings attention to the need for a One Health approach to address shared health threats at the human-animal-environment interface.
