Celebrate One Health Day with CDC

November 2018

One Health: We're All Connected



November 3, 2018, marks the third annual One Health Day, a global campaign to bring attention to the need for a One Health approach to public health. One Health recognizes the connection between human health, animal health, and our environment. 

 

In the past year, outbreaks of zoonotic diseases like Ebola, psittacosis, and Salmonella linked to poultry, guinea pigs, and food products have highlighted the importance of a One Health approach to preventing and controlling diseases.

 

How you can participate:

  • Post about your One Health work on social media using #OneHealthDay.
  • Encourage and engage in communication, collaboration, and coordination with partners across the human, animal, and environmental sectors.
  • Check out and share CDC’s resources on One Health.
