The One Health Book Club brings together people with diverse backgrounds to explore the connections among human, animal, and environmental health through story-driven books. In recognition of One Health Day, our November 3 and 4 virtual discussions will focus on The American Plague by Molly Caldwell Crosby. Through the history of yellow fever, our book club members consider how mosquitoes, environmental conditions, scientific discovery, public trust, and community responses shaped an epidemic and its consequences.

We are a faculty-student team at the Western University of Health Sciences College of Veterinary Medicine in Pomona, CA hosting the annual WesternU One Health Day Symposium, which is open to our health sciences campus and regional colleges and universities. This year, the event is scheduled for Tuesday, November 3, 2026, 4-8 pm on the WesternU Pomona campus. Thematically, our focus is Bats, Bugs & Borders: Emerging Zoonoses in a Warming World and will feature talks followed by a panel with all the speakers.
