One Health at Tufts

What is One Health?

One Health is a collaborative, multisectoral, and transdisciplinary approach-working at the local, regional, national, and global levels-with the goal of achieving optimal health outcomes while recognizing the interconnection between people, animals, plants, and their shared environment.
