For almost half a decade HOSA has provided students the gateway for to develop leadership and technical skills in healthcare. For many, HOSA has allowed them to achieve their full potential and interact with people who share their same interests.

Becoming a HOSA state officer will allow me to give back to my fellow members by helping them to achieve their own personal interests in HOSA.
