Our local hospitals, Cabell Huntington Hospital and St Mary's Medical Center, along with Marshall University, Marshall Health and HIMG, have recently merged to form what is know as Marshall Health Network (MHN). We are truly lucky in our area to have an abundance of wonderful healthcare sponsors that we frequently collaborate with both in and out of the classroom.

I will have to give a big shout out to my FAVORITE HOSA team-Cabell Midland HOSA, WV, growing from 17 to 51 members in 10 months! I could not have done this without the assist of my State Advisor Loretta Thompson and several other WV local area advisors! Other states I had the pleasure of interacting with at ILC was NC, UT, District of Columbia and Louisiana.

Although we currently don't have an active HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America) chapter, I included a photo from the past when we did have one.

My dedication and tireless efforts are focused on reaching that full potential, and this photo serves as a constant inspiration for me in that pursuit.

Our Doctor of Chiropractic students had the opportunity to be taught in the new Activator Technique Lab by co-founder and chairman of Activator Methods International, and the building's namesake, Dr. Arlan Fuhr, DC ('61).

Nearly 50 years ago, Dr. Fuhr established the Activator Method, the world's most widely used instrument adjusting chiropractic technique in use by more than 70 percent of chiropractors. Thank you to Dr. Fuhr and Mrs. Judi Fuhr for taking the time to speak with and introduce our DC students to the Activator Method.

My favorite HOSA State would my home state, Georgia. My favorite chapter is my own, at Sonoraville High School. It is my favorite because my students who come regularly to meetings and events have really grown and built confidence in themselves, which I know will lead to future success for them. For a newer chapter we had a student place in top 5 of an event of FLC, and now have a student who placed in top 5 of our region in Medical Terminology going into SLC.

"Being in HOSA has made me even more excited and passionate about a career in medicine. The most recent HOSA event, the Mid-Winter competition at St. Paul College, sparked a confidence in me that I didn't know I had. We were given a scenario during the EMT event with a distressed patient and we were expected to be the calm and reliable first responder. The instructors, students, and medical professionals in HOSA are the most supportive and motivating people to be around-they make you want to be your best self. I am so grateful to be given an opportunity to be in such an encouraging program that helps me flourish both academically and personally."

One of our community partners is Amazon. Our building is one the most unique in the state, as we are neighboring the Greater Cincinnati International Airport. Our building is the only that hold drills in the event of an airline crash as we are in the flight path. Amazon also has a large hub, and they are gracious with donations and support of our students. Annually, the airport has a mash casualty drill, volunteers are dressed as injured passengers/crew and local EMS personal will triage and run through an actual disaster. Our students love this event and we look forward to it!
