One Health Organization provides access to veterinary care through financial assistance to low-income older adults and people with disabilities. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit, it is the only organization in Northeast Ohio dedicated to supporting the unique family bond between people and their pets. Programs include:
 
Voucher-based Family Benefit Program - Older adults and those with disabilities living at or below 200% of the current federal poverty rate apply for Vouchers worth up to $250 per year, which help offset basic veterinary care for their pets. Recipients must live in Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga, Portage, Summit, Medina or Lorain County. Veterinary care is provided by 33 Veterinary Partners, which are reimbursed after Vouchers are remitted with proof of services rendered. Initiated in 2014, benefits of the program include that it:
-Eases the financial burden for a disadvantaged population
-Reduces loneliness and isolation and maintains well-being
-Reserves the loving bond between vulnerable people and their pets
-Helps keep pets healthy and out of shelters

Pet Owner Services - One Health Organization informs pet parents about resources through its website, https://onehealth.org/we-can-help/pet-parents/, which organizes information about affordable pet-related services on one website page. Also included is a comprehensive list of veterinary clinics in Northeast Ohio. A COVID-19 webpage, https://onehealth.org/covid-19/, was created and is updated regularly with helpful information for pet parents.
 
Partnership Development - One Health Organization explores opportunities with other nonprofits and businesses toward making veterinary care affordable and accessible for more pet parents. The vision of One Health Organization leadership is to eventually create a space to provide comprehensive services for vulnerable pet-owning populations in the Greater Cleveland-area to fill unmet needs.
