HOSA EVENTS
March 5th Meeting Recap
During the meeting, we covered information over vaping and smoking.
We watched a video that gave several statistics related to vaping and smoking, mainly negative. https://www.takingdowntobacco.org/main/vaping.
After watching the video we created tombstones with facts about vaping, smoking, and nicotine on them. We will be placing these around the school to educate everyone on the effects of smoking.
Our goal is to help end smoking, vaping, and anything else nicotine and tobacco-related that is harmful to everyone's health!
If you missed the HOSA Informational meeting read the memo below.
HOSA is a student organization for Future Health Professionals. Generally, students in HOSA are enrolled in one of the Career and Technical Educational Health Science Technology classes; however, you do not have to be enrolled in one of them if you are interested in the health career field. These classes will provide you with opportunities to prepare you for your future in the medical field. HOSA will allow you to expand your knowledge outside of the classroom about different professions and medical ongoings, and gain leadership and technical skills while participating with other future health care workers in the health care activities.
So what exactly is HOSA you ask?
- Hosa is a group of students who are interested in the healthcare field. We will compete in different events, serve our community, and are given opportunities to receive experience in the healthcare field.
- HOSA empowers Future Health Professionals to become leaders in the global health community through education, collaboration, and experience.
- “The mission of HOSA is to enhance the delivery of compassionate, quality healthcare by providing opportunities for knowledge, skill and leadership development of all health science education students, therefore, helping the student meet the needs of the healthcare community.”
Here at LEHS, our local HOSA chapter has accomplished a lot in the past 9 years. We put on three, soon to be four blood drives a year to collect blood for our blood banks. We have partnered with FCCLA to provide the student body with the filter water bottle filler uppers and partnered with STUCO to bring awareness to campaigns. We volunteer much of our time to places such as Mazie's Mission, nursing homes, and hospitals. We have donated many stuffed animals to children in need at the holidays, fuzzy socks to nursing homes, items to an animal shelter, pop tabs to Ronald McDonald house and much more. We raise awareness about conditions, diseases, and professions that are not very common. In the past two years, we have informed many people about a rare genetic disorder, MSD, and donated over $900 to their foundation. WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
You should be a part of HOSA because you will be exposed to opportunities and events that you would not normally be exposed too. You will get to surround yourself with other like-minded future health professional individuals, who have goals and are dedicated students. Also, it will look fantastic on your resume for college or a high school job, we have plenty of scholarships available to members, and you can even be eligible for a letterman.
If you are interested in joining, apply before Sept 30 at https://forms.gle/WnTRz2eTBwPt5PTo8. It is $45 to join HOSA. The fees are due by Oct 15th.
