As January and One Health Month come to a close, the mission doesn’t stop here.

Every day of the year, One Health reminds us that human, animal, and environmental health are deeply connected. As we move forward, we encourage you to carry these tools, frameworks, and learning resources with you beyond January.

Congratulations to Alexa Rivers, the winner of the UF One Health T-Shirt Design Contest!🎉

Her design stood out for its clear and thoughtful representation of all three pillars of One Health—human, animal, and environmental health—each displayed with equal importance. This balance perfectly reflects the mission of our One Health program.

We are excited to share that this winning design will be featured at our One Health Case Competition this year!

Thank you to everyone who submitted a design and participated in voting. The final results were determined using a calculated combination of Instagram likes and official votes submitted directly through OHCC, ensuring a fair and comprehensive selection process.

We are incredibly grateful for the creativity and engagement from our One Health community!

T-SHIRT DESIGN CONTEST: Entry number seven! Please vote by liking the post with the design you see most fit for our program.

Design Explanation:
“This is a variation of my previous design. It includes a symbol of health (the +), as opposed to the human head, to show the idea of well-being through One Health. The hands instead represent how humans hold the responsibility of ensuring the integrity of One Health. Additionally, the Gator Nation is represented through the gator head and the water with grass (swamp). I really wanted to stress the idea of unity through this design because I believe the basis of One Health is unity. I also think the modernity of this design draws in the eye as there is a balance of elements and white space.”

Thank you for your entry!
