The One Health Us Model

Connecting nature, food, and healthcare so communities can thrive.

Our Approach

One Health Us brings together nature, food, and healthcare into a single, community-driven approach to improving health. Rather than addressing these systems separately, we work with local partners to design and implement solutions that are adaptable to the community and how people live every day.

A Model Built for Replicability

& Adapted to Your Community

The One Health Us model adapts each pillar to the unique needs and opportunities of your community, taking shape in many forms, including but not limited to:

  • A new lifestyle medicine clinic in a public or private park
  • A retrofitted nature center or community building adjacent to green space
  • A hospital-connected outdoor health program
  • Community-based programming
We bring this model to life through five core actions:

Building Collaborative Partnerships

We’ll help align conservation, healthcare, and community organizations around a shared vision of improving health by restoring the local ecology and providing nutrient dense foods in the community.

Driving Healthy Food Systems

We’ll connect local farmers, markets, and healthcare providers to strengthen the local food system and expand access to nutrient-dense food through medically tailored groceries and meals.

Community Initiatives for Nature

We’ll collaborate with local partners to restore the ecology of nature, and integrate the benefits of time outdoors through targeted, community-wide initiatives.

Lifestyle Medicine Program Design

We’ll establish partnerships to implement the pillars of lifestyle medicine clinics connected to healthcare delivery, supported by QV Health Solutions.

Partnering with Healthcare Providers

We’ll partner with healthcare providers to integrate the 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine into their practice through partnership with the American College of Lifestyle Medicine.

Why It Works

The One Health Us model works because it’s built on a foundational truth: health is shaped by how we live and the choices we make, daily.

Healthy Nature

Access to greenspace drives better health outcomes.

We protect and expand access to greenspace, making it easier for people to spend time outdoors and, in turn, reducing stress, improving mental health, and supporting overall well-being.

Healthy Food

Health starts with what we grow and eat.

By supporting healthier land and local food systems, we increase access to nutrient-dense food that fuels the body and strengthens health outcomes.

Healthy People

Care that treats the root cause, not just the symptom.

Through lifestyle medicine clinics, we help people improve health through daily habits to support better nutrition, more movement, and time spent outdoors, empowering community members to prevent and reverse chronic disease rather than simply manage it.

One Health Us
The Result

A connected system where nature, food, and care work together to make health more accessible, sustainable, and integrated into everyday life.
