The UT One Health Initiative (UT OHI) a campus-wide initiative dedicated to protecting and promoting the health of all life on earth using a One Health approach. One Health recognizes that the health of humans, animals, plants, and the environment are connected; when one sector experiences a health crisis, the others are impacted as well. We tackle complex issues like food insecurity, mental health, biodiversity loss, climate change, and antimicrobial resistance—issues that Tennesseans face every day. We engage academics, government agencies, NGOs, and community partners to work together to address these issues and find solutions with global implications.
