Explore the Interconnectedness of Mental Health

This year, KC One Health Day shines a spotlight on Mental Health, recognizing that a healthy mind is inseparable from a healthy body, thriving animals and a sustainable planet. The holistic approach embraces the deep connections between mental well-being and the world around us.

What is One Health Day? 

One Health Day is a global event held every fall to spotlight the vital connection between human, animal and environmental health - an approach known as One Health. 

Kansas City One Health Day is our local celebration. The annual event is a collaboration by K-State Olathe, BioNexus KC, the KU Edwards Campus and University of Kansas Medical Center. This event brings our community together to champion and explore integrated health solutions.
