CEC Sponsored Event

What do human health, animal health, and environmental health have in common? The answer is One Health, a framework that recognizes the interconnectedness of the well-being of people, animals, and ecosystems.

Join the Citizens' Environmental Coalition (CEC) for our June virtual member meeting as we explore the fundamentals of One Health and why this concept is becoming increasingly important in addressing issues such as air and water quality, emerging diseases, biodiversity loss, climate impacts, and community resilience.

This introductory session is designed for anyone who wants to better understand how environmental and public health are connected. No prior knowledge of One Health is required.

This virtual member meeting is FREE to attend and open to both CEC members and guests. Register today to receive the virtual meeting link.

Guest Speaker(s)

Coral Lozada, Ph.D. is a Sustainability Faculty Fellow in the Office of Sustainability at Houston Methodist Academic Institute. She has a PhD in coastal and marine systems sciences and her research background in mixed-methods approaches allows her to approach sustainability with an interdisciplinary perspective. Much of her work has focused on how community perceptions and values influence resilience to both natural and man-made disasters, and how coastal communities adapt to changes in their livelihoods as a result of these disasters or shifts. She looks forward to enhancing Methodist hospital’s resilience and contributing to its environmental sustainability using a One Health lens.
