Welcome to the third annual MCG-GS Savannah Community Engaged Research Conference. Today brings together students, faculty, clinicians, and community partners from Georgia Southern University and the Medical College of Georgia around a central guiding question: How can research improve health in Coastal Georgia? This year’s theme, Bridging Science, Care, and Community in the AI Era, runs through the program, from talks on trust in AI-enabled care to field projects with fishing communities, farm families, firefighters, and nursing home staff.

Come spend a fun-filled day at the Nashville Zoo exploring how humans, animals, and the environment are all connected! Meet incredible animals and discover how our health and theirs are closely linked. For this year’s One Health Day celebration, the Tennessee Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health will be partnering with the Nashville Zoo and our academic, state, and federal partners to come together and promote what One Health means. We hope to bring together experts and the public to promote the health, growth, and interconnectedness of people, animals, and the environment.

Nashville Zoo will host a One Health Day event on November 4th free with zoo admission. This event celebrates the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. Explore interactive exhibits, meet experts from state and federal agencies, universities, and non-profits, and learn how we can work together to protect the health of people, animals, and our planet.
