One World. One Health. One Water.

One Health is a concept dating back nearly 2,500 years to Hippocrates, recognizing the interdependence of humans, animals, plants, and their shared environment, and thus promotes transdisciplinary collaborations in research, education, and community engagement at local to global scales to achieve optimal health outcomes. Healthy Urban Waters (HUW) at Wayne State University is hosting "One World. One Health. One Water.", a symposium that will explore the urban aquatic environment within a One Health context.
