The One Health Commission is a globally focused organization dedicated to implementation of One Health and
One Health actions around the world.
As a 501(c)(3) organization, chartered in Washington, D.C. in 2009, the One Health Commission (OHC) seeks to raise awareness and to educate all audiences about the importance of transcending institutional and disciplinary boundaries to transform the way that human, animal, plant, and ecosystem health professionals work together for the health of all living things and the planet.
The Commission work to ‘Connect’ One Health Advocates and Stakeholders, to ‘Create’ networks and teams that work together across disciplines to ‘Educate’ about One Health and One Health issues.
- 'Connect' those working for One Health around the world to facilitate needed synergistic relationships and collaborations at all levels of academia, government, policy and research. See organizational 'Who's Who in One Health'.
- 'Create' opportunities for human, animal, plant and ecosystem health-related disciplines and institutions to work together in transformative, trans-disciplinary teams and working groups. See Programs being led by the OHC.
- 'Educate' the public about the importance of and urgent need for the One Health approach. This includes established professionals and students from all disciplines (from Anthropology to Architectural Design to Biology/Chemistry to Food Scientists to Medicine to Psychology to Sociology to Zoology, etc), agricultural and food production sectors, health care providers from human and animal domains, policy and law makers, 'everyone'.
The One Health Commission is a connecting body and a gateway of exchange of information, bringing together the human, animal and environmental sciences in value-added information sharing that improves the well-being of animals, sustainability of the environment and the lives of people and the global society.
It provides a platform for often underrepresented voices, including youth leaders, local implementers, and scientific experts, to discuss the practical challenges of One Health implementation.
It is a network of networks that strengthens information sharing, communications, collaborations and coordination among international One Health stakeholders.
Donor / Sponsor opportunities are available for academic and non-profit organizations (Institutions), corporations, and individuals who would like to help further the One Health paradigm shift.
The Commission is chartered as a non-profit in Washington, D.C. and headquartered in the Research Triangle Park region of central North Carolina, USA
