PENNSYLVANIA ONE HEALTH CONSORTIUM

The One Health consortium serves as a transdisciplinary resource of research, education, policy and community engagement for our commonwealth and the region.
About
One Health
One Health is an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimize the health of people, animals and ecosystems. It recognizes the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants, and the wider environment (including ecosystems) are closely linked and inter-dependent.
Mission
Advance One Health in Pennsylvania by building cross-sector partnerships that support research, education, and community engagement. These efforts strengthen science, practice, and policy to improve health for people, animals, plants, and ecosystems.
Vision
A resilient Pennsylvania where healthy communities, thriving farms and wildlife, robust plant health, and healthy ecosystems strengthen one another for generations.
The approach mobilizes multiple sectors, disciplines and communities at varying levels of society to work together to foster well-being and tackle threats to health and ecosystems, while addressing the collective need for clean water, energy and air, safe and nutritious food, taking action on climate changes and contributing to sustainable development.
This definition was adopted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2021.
