HOSA
The Health and Occupations Students of America (HOSA) exists to assist students in developing leadership and technical skill
competencies. It is intended for those who plan to enter careers that provide care and health services.
HOSA is an integralpart of Health Occupations. Through HOSA students develop a better understanding, an awareness of social intelligence, civic consciousness, and leadership skills.
