Leveraging Human, Animal, and Environmental Health Partners to Keep Michigan Healthy Series #1 (On Demand-No CE)

No CE. Certificate of completion is free.

PHP is pleased to partner with the Michigan Center for Rural Health to offer a second One Health ECHO series.

This series explored One Health through a cross-sectoral lens with consideration to equity. The series brought together participants from a variety of disciplines (infectious disease physicians, veterinarians, public health staff), analyzed cases, analyzed cases, and allowed for collaboration in a large group learning environment. 

In March 2024, the dairy and poultry industry in Ionia County, Michigan was hit with a widespread outbreak of Avian Influenza. To date, HPAI has impacted 4 poultry flocks and 5 dairy herd farms in the county. Over 6 million chickens have been culled and 20% of the dairy farms in Ionia were impacted. At peak response in the county, we had over 600 workers being monitored for illness with many of those being migrant workers. This first session will explore One Health and Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) through a cross-sectoral and health equity focus.

This training was originally held on July 30, 2024.
