Communication, coordination, and collaboration among partners working in animal, human, and environmental health as well as other relevant areas are an essential part of the One Health approach.
One Health Day is also the perfect opportunity to spotlight our Environmental Public Health (EPH) team!
Our EPH department maintains the expectations Grant County residents have for the water we drink, the food we eat and many other factors significant in our daily lives.
