HOSA-Future Health Professionals

Ten Health Occupation Students of America Members (HOSA-Future Health Professionals) helped with the Flu Clinic held on Oct. 17th! District wide there were over 200 influenza immunizations given! Our nurses and the nurses from the Arkansas Department of Health greatly appreciated these students, who assisted in holding the younger students, completed paperwork, handed out suckers and transported kids to and from the classroom. Thanks for volunteering! And thanks to everyone who got their vaccines for doing your part to reduce the spread of deadly viruses From left, Drew Madison, Daycee Petree, Cadence Holland, Ryver Deason, Leslie Alvarez, Sydney Kildow, nurses from the Department of Health.

Join us in celebrating the invaluable contributions of Native American healthcare professionals everywhere! 💙✨ #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #HOSA #HealthcareHeroes #Representation #FuturePhysician #Healthcare

HOSA-Future Health Professionals was instrumental in shaping who I am as a person and leader. I’m especially grateful to two women who were pivotal to my growth: Mrs. Davidson, my HOSA advisor at Northridge High School, and Mrs. Koeninger, my National HOSA advisor. Their guidance and belief in me made all the difference.

I was unable to accept this award in person as I was taking the MCAT, but I did receive it in the mail today! I am so grateful to be able to continue being a part of an organization i’ve loved for so long, and to be recognized on the International level even as an alumni means so much to me. I don’t think i’ll ever fully step out of the HOSA scene, and I hope to encourage more students out there to chase their passions! Here’s to more growth and learning!

Today I had the honor of being a keynote speaker for the HOSA-Future Health Professionals Bridgeport Harding High School chapter induction ceremony. HOSA is dedicated to providing opportunities for students interested in healthcare occupations. This organization has been a great part of my life as it’s helped me find mentors, scholarships, and job opportunities. Now I’d like to give back to them. We are looking for 👇🏼 1.) health professionals to come in and speak to the students to provide guidance and teach them about their opportunities 2.) companies that are willing to take student volunteers or part time workers for experience 3.) charities and organizations that would like to collaborate with these students, we would have over 30 students available and excited to get involved 4.) health professionals willing to be mentors or sponsors for events ! Help me help the future healthcare workers of America 🩺🥼

This September, I had the incredible opportunity of attending the Washington Leadership Conference as an Arkansas HOSA State Officer. From engaging with influential leaders to advocating for an amazing non-profit organization, NMDP, this experience was truly eye-opening! At the conference, I gained valuable skills in leadership, advocacy, and networking that I brought back to my local HOSA chapter and community. In addition to visiting landmarks such as the Lincoln and MLK memorials, I also had the opportunity to meet with Congressman Rick Crawford's Secretary at the U.S. Capitol, where I expressed gratitude for their continued support of CTE in Arkansas through the Perkins Fund Thank you HOSA-Future Health Professionals who made this amazing experience possible. I can’t wait to apply these insights as we continue to advocate for the future of healthcare professionals!

Incredible work!
