Keeping Pets & People, Healthy at Home.

2020-2022 COMMUNITY IMPACT REPORT

A Message from the Founder, President, & CEO

"It’s been quite an eventful three years. We’re grateful that we are still helping keep pets and people living healthy lives together. I’m always looking for ways to increase our impact and before we started these three years, we investigated purchasing a franchise to open a veterinary clinic with a lot of support and considering a national concept to help people access veterinary care for their pets. My head was spinning with the world of opportunities to explore. And then, things took a turn."

Three-Year Summary

We wrapped up these three fiscal years with the following in place:

1. Three full-time staff members; only two are adequately compensated.
2. An expert digital marketing team to increase awareness of our organization, our programs, and how people can help.
3. A plan to augment existing programs to make a bigger impact in the world.
4. A better understanding of the expenses needed to reach bigger goals.
5. A comprehensive campaign plan to meet and exceed fundraising goals.
6. A plan to engage more volunteers to help meet the mission.

Looking to the Future

As always, we look to increase the impact we make. It truly is a group effort and we work best as a team. Volunteers support staff efforts and donors help make it all happen. If you’re interested in learning more about how you can get involved, contact us. 

A Letter of Gratitude from Melissa Elick, Our Development Director

"As the Community Relations & Development Director at One Health Organization, I am filled with gratitude as I reflect on the incredible journey we’ve embarked upon over the past three years. Our mission to provide essential veterinary care to pets of low-income individuals in Northeast Ohio has been met with unwavering support from our community, and I am truly humbled by the impact we’ve been able to make together."

We believe that no pets or people should suffer because they can’t access the care they need.

Success Story: Valerie & Winston and their Inseparable Bond

In the hustle and bustle of daily life, we often overlook the small acts of kindness that can make all the difference. For Valerie, a Lake County resident, and her beloved dog, Winston, support came at just the right time through One Health Organization's Voucher Program. Their story is one of resilience, care, and a few memorable moments that remind us of the joy pets bring to our lives.

Veterinary Partners

Our Veterinary Partners are local veterinarians who have agreed to accept Veterinary Care Vouchers provided by One Health Organization to pay for dog and cat care. We are grateful for their time and support. We couldn’t do this work without them!

“I feel good when I can help people like Kathy get the care liz-brucchierithat her dog Chloe desperately needed. During a routine exam, I saw that Chloe’s teeth were in bad shape. Because of the Vouchers that Kathy received from One Health Organization, I was able to pull out a bad tooth and Chloe’s mouth feels a lot better.”

- Dr. Liz Brucchieri, Veterinarian, Porter Pet Hospital
