In the spring of 2010, a conference entitled Operationalizing "One Health': A Policy Perspective - Taking Stock and Shaping an Implementation Roadmap was held in Stone Mountain, GA. This meeting brought together a select group of leaders from national Ministries of Health and Agriculture, the European Commission, the United Nations, the World Bank, and other diverse institutions from the academic, policy and economic sectors, to contribute their expertise and experience to the discussion. The participants reviewed progress to date in terms of leading practices related to "One Health" and identified key policy decisions and financial commitments necessary to support sustainability and expansion. were formed to collaboratively develop and implement key activities that will further attainment of defined three to five year goals, and that are feasible for completion over the next 18 months.
The international impact of what became known as the Stone Mountain Meeting (SMM) was and is substantial. Whether due to serendipitous timing, careful planning and execution, or the endorsement of essential organizations, the Stone Mountain Meeting marked a pivotal point in moving from One Health rhetoric to definitive action steps.
