One Health

One Health module thumbnailPresenter: Janice Valenzuela, DVM, MPH,  
Population Health Service Fellow, University of Wisconsin-Madison 

Summary:  

We live and work in an increasingly interconnected and complex world. In public health, we recognize the influence of various social determinants on health, we talk about incorporating health in all policies and we value inter-professional team approaches to care. No one group has the knowledge or the resources to address the “wicked” problems facing our planet today.   

One Health recognizes the connections between the health of humans, animals and the environment; promotes more fully collaborative ways of thinking about problems and their solutions and allows us to take a more integrated systems-based approach to achieving health for all.
