ONE HEALTH: The Wisconsin Idea in Global Action
Mission & Value Statements
At the UW-Madison Global Health Institute, we are conveners proactively unifying the talent and expertise through a multidisciplinary lens from academia, government, NGOs, health officials, and industry to tackle global health response and security issues through our collaborative and innovative One Health Center network.
Our mission is to embrace a global health ethic that fosters deeper understanding of the complex determinants of health and disease for people, animals, and ecosystems through a One Health model. By working locally and globally, we uniquely apply research and education both within and across disciplines, advancing health today and ensuring well-being for the future.
