One Health Week will be a week of different activities on the UConn campus bringing awareness to the one health concept. There will be an information tabling event to teach passing by students about one health, a campus trash clean up, a DIY toothpaste making event, an involvement fair so students can learn about different student organizations on campus that focus on one health-related topics, and educational opportunities including a speaking event with two animal epidemiologists. This week will bring the ideas of one health to the forefront of discussions at the University of Connecticut.

We are hosting our second human-animal health fair (street clinic) for people who are either experiencing homelessness or who have recently been experiencing homelessness and their pets. We are offering medical services and health screenings for people, veterinary care for pets, human and pet sanitation supplies and food, as well as access to housing applications and drug and mental health treatment. We partner with both human and animal health agencies.
