“As a veterinary Public Health Service officer and clinician, I embrace public health from a One Health approach. The health of people is reliant on a healthy environment and healthy animal populations with whom we share the environment. This includes not only physical health, but mental well-being, as seen in the physical, emotional, and mental health benefits of the human-animal bond.” – CDR Catherine Rockwell Read her #OfficerSpotlight: bit.ly/4bi5TkA #USPHS #AnimalHealth #Veterinarian
