One Health in Action: Connecting Nature, Community, and Well-Being
July 29, 4:00 PM ET
Join us for an engaging session on One Health—a collaborative, cross-sectoral approach that recognizes the interconnection between human health, animal health, and the environment. This webinar will explore how communities are applying One Health principles to build healthier, more resilient futures through nature-based solutions, environmental equity, and public health innovation.
We’ll feature two inspiring efforts underway in Missouri and Texas:
- Roger Still will discuss the Boone County One Health Project in Columbia, Missouri, where efforts include mapping greenspace access, promoting local food systems, and planning a Lifestyle Medicine clinic in a city park to improve community health.
- Jaime González will share early insights from a cross-sector initiative in Harris County, Texas, that is using the One Health framework to address the region’s conservation, environmental equity, and public health challenges.
