I am so honored. This is from the OCSA FB page: Today, we introduce a bi-weekly series entitled “One Health Champions” #onehealth #humananimalbond “One Health is the collaborative effort of multiple health science professions, together with their related disciplines and institutions – working locally, nationally, and globally – to attain optimal health for people, domestic animals, wildlife, plants, and our environment.” The mission of the OCSA “to save lives by raising awareness about the silent symptoms of ovarian cancer” is addressing a highly significant health challenge of our society. In addition, multiple chronic diseases, including other cancers, diabetes, and obesity, are common and highly detrimental to the health of both people and animals. With the innovative Veterinary Outreach Program, and the synergism achieved through the collaborative One Health approach, potential outcomes include More Information Sharing; Timely Treatment and Saving of lives. And most importantly the positive impact from the Human Animal Bond on the Physical and Mental Health of both People and their Pets. ANNOUNCING OUR FIRST “ONE HEALTH CHAMPION” MEET OCSA ADVISORY BOARD MEMBER DARLENE ARDEN! Darlene Arden, CABC is a Certified Animal Behavior Consultant, author, journalist, blogger and frequent guest on radio and television. Her passion for animals shines through everything she does. Darlene frequently interviews veterinarians, bringing the most accurate information to the public. A proponent of the One Health Initiative before it existed, Darlene all but begged medical doctors to attend veterinary conferences in order to learn about what would eventually reach human medicine. “If banging my head against the wall burned calories, I would look like a Supermodel.” Her very kind and thoughtful support for OCSA is dedicated in loving memory of her dear friend Nancy Jensen-Norris.
