Our Mission

The Penn One Health communications group serves to promote awareness of interdisciplinary, cross-school research in the health fields, bolstered by partnerships with researchers who focus on a wide range of areas, from engineering to art. By sharing stories and attracting media attention, the group aims to highlight the progress made possible because of the University of Pennsylvania’s unique, highly collaborative environment.
