A message from the

One Health Commission
(Based in the US, working globally)

Connect, Create, Educate
for One Health
Dear One Health Champion:
 
Now in existence for over 12 years, the One Health Commission continues to strive to
expand its programs for the global One Health movement and community of stakeholders. Please see a summary of our work (https://tinyurl.com/OHC-AnnReport2021) and watch for 2022 updates coming soon.
 
Three of our most popular programs are:
  1. Creation (since 2015) and sharing of a global One Health Happenings newsletter (https://tinyurl.com/OHC-OH-Happening )
  2. Our global community Who’s Who in One Health maps (https://tinyurl.com/OHC-WW ) that identify and shine a light on all the many groups, organizations and institutions that are actively working to further the One Health paradigm shift, and,
  3. Global One Health Day co-led since 2016 with colleagues from the One Health Initiative team. (https://tinyurl.com/OH-Day-Home)

Those and all our programs to date have been supported by volunteers who are passionate about making One Health the default way of living and thinking. We each have a very important role to play.
 
Here at the One Health Commission we envision a world in which the inter-connectedness of animals, environment, plants and people is deeply, and systemically recognized, valued and acted upon for the benefit of all.

Our mission is to ‘connect’ One Health stakeholders to ‘create’ teams and networks that work together, across disciplines, to ‘educate’ about One Health and One Health issues to improve health and well-being outcomes of humans, animals and plants and to promote environmental resilience through a collaborative, global One Health approach.
 
We hope that you will be inspired by some of this work and that you will adopt your own actions to implement One Health in your neighborhood, your institution, your region. Please do share One Health Happenings with colleagues. Sign them up on our listserv. Point lawmakers and other members of the public to the Who’s Who maps to highlight how this One Health approach is being embraced around the world. Plan and lead a One Health Day event next year and experience firsthand the pride of supporting this noble cause, our Ray of Hope for the Future. 
 
It's that time of year when we reflect on what we have been able to do in the last 12 months and strategically plan what we would like to accomplish in the next 12 months. To meet our mission and provide these services for our global One Health family, we rely on the generosity of individuals, institutions and businesses. Without financial assistance from passionate, One Health community-minded individuals just like you, we wouldn't be able to continue and to expand this work.
 
With this message we invite you, if you are able, to get further involved by financially helping us do this work.
 
This year our fundraising goal is $100,000. We hope that you can help us get there. Your generosity will make a huge difference in our community driven One Health efforts. Please visit this webpage (https://tinyurl.com/OHC-Donate) to see how you and/or your organization can make a tax-deductible donation in 2022.
 
And remember: every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference!
 
Thank you in advance for your support!
