Academic, health care, industry, wildlife, agriculture, veterinary, environmental health, public health, community organizations and government representatives from across the Commonwealth recently took part in the second annual meeting of the Pennsylvania One Health Consortium (PAOHC), a coalition of experts focused on improving health and well-being for all Pennsylvanians.
Convened by the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health, consortium coordinating institution, the meeting was held June 21-23 in Pittsburgh.
“One Health links people, animals, plants and ecosystems,” said Maureen Lichtveld, dean of the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health, the consortium’s coordinating institution since 2024. “That linkage is central to our mission and to the mission of our consortium and its partners.”
