Abstract

Five mobile, public health-led One Health clinics were implemented in Pima County, Arizona, integrating human, animal, and environmental health. The first 5 clinics served 108 clients and 93 pets; 44% of clients were unhoused or unstably housed. Clinics facilitated partnership among service providers and supported vaccine uptake among people and pets. Three cases of sexually transmitted infections were identified that might otherwise have remained undetected.
