The Columbia One Health Initiative is a student organization at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health dedicated to the One Health movement.
One Health is a movement in the scientific community to create an interdisciplinary partnership between healthcare and the environment to advance medicine and public health through joint discoveries involving animals, humans, and the environment.
The One Health Initiative seeks to use these approaches to solving today's global and environmental health challenges.
