My favorite HOSA chapter is ours! We are still building and the best thing is everyone is all in!!

# data[].attributes.body
This picture is my favorite because it was the beginning of a new trajectory for our HOSA chapter.

# data[].attributes.body
Our chapter will be partnering with UVA Culpeper Medical Center for community outreach, job shadowing and hospital tours.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to partner with Atrium Health here in Lincolnton, NC. The reason I would like to partner with them is because they are our closest hospital, our athletic trainer works through them and it is convenient for our students. They offer great careers, training and benefits.

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite HOSA Chapter and the only one I really know of is the NC Chapter, I am in the Southwestern Region since we are located in the Lincoln county area. I attended a conference this summer and learned so much and excited to get started.

# data[].attributes.body
I love this picture. It's a memory of our chapter going to Galveston, Tx. for our State competition. The students drew this in the sand. I loved seeing their excitement. Being able to give them a life experience was my favorite part.

# data[].attributes.body
Being new to HOSA I didn't know what to expect. I just love the way our Area comes together and the way our leaders work together to provide the best opportunities for our young health science scholars. We are Area 1 in Texas.

I must say, I love HOSA Tx.

# data[].attributes.body
We are new and partnered up with DVCC. This is a organization that works and provides services to our community. We worked with them and participated in our first annual Turkey Trot. The students loved this event. It was a pleasure being part of this organization. We have planned to attend the Turkey trot again.

# data[].attributes.body
We would love to develop a partnership with WTH so our scholars can job shadow there and tour the facility

Of course it is my home state of ALABAMA!

# data[].attributes.body
We are just starting our chapter but I currently have a partnership with Kaiser Permenente Hospital for a club I advise called Hippocrates Circle. I am looking forward to making more partnerships and connections within the community

# data[].attributes.body
This was a guest speaker that came in from the children's hospital. She is a CRNA and my health sciences teachers were able to actually practice intubation skills. This is one of the many exciting hands on activities we did last year. We look forward to many more to come!

Horizon HOSA Chapter Founding members!

# data[].attributes.body
Obviously, my favorite chapter is my own students of Horizon HOSA! These students have worked hard to begin the organization in a small private school with minimal connections and students. We now have twice the members we had last year, and are still growing!

# data[].attributes.body
We are new this year, so I'd like students to reach out and learn how we can partner with the local CHOA (Children's Healthcare of Atlanta) clinics and local urgent care or dentist offices. We are a school with elementary students, so we could have a dental health day or poison control awareness or basic education on handwashing to prevent illness and invite any of those three to promote their services.

# data[].attributes.body
Our chapter is our favorite!

# data[].attributes.body
We have not had any meetings as we are a new chapter- but here is our first meeting signage!

# data[].attributes.body
I love our HOSA chapter in TN. I think what the chapter leaders do in TN do an amazing job and put on a great competition for state. I also think all the regions in TN have really strong HOSA chapters so its fun to compete against them.

# data[].attributes.body
I would love to be connected to more hospitals in the Memphis metro area. I wish we could do a tour of one of the facilities. Another community outreach I would like to do would to be visiting nursing homes and possibly playing games with them.

# data[].attributes.body
This was from last year TN state. My students had so much fun learning and presenting their skills. We can't wait to go back this year!

As a new HOSA chapter, I hope to partner with Novant Health and Wilmington Health. These are the 2 main hospitals in Wilmington, NC.

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite HOSA State Chapter is North Carolina! My favorite HOSA Chapter is the one I just started at New Hanover High School in Wilmington, NC!

# data[].attributes.body
I attended the NC HOSA SLC as part of my CTE New Teacher Induction program. I did not have a HOSA chapter at my school at this point. I had such an amazing experience that as soon as I returned back to school, I began the steps with my administration to establish a chapter!

# data[].attributes.body
Unfortunately, I do not current have any Roane State HOSA photos yet.

# data[].attributes.body
So far, our favorite HOSA Chapters are those at Gatlinburg-Pittman High School, Loudon High School, Clinton High School, and Campbell County High School. All of these are secondary chapters in Tennessee. We also have a great relationship with HOSA-TN

# data[].attributes.body
I have developed some great relationships within HOSA secondary chapters that have been great to start the program with. We haven't been able to extend outside of that arena yet due to the recent start to our program.

My favorite HOSA partner is Prevent Blindness and Zenni Optical and Baylor Scott & White Health.

# data[].attributes.body
I have not gotten to interact with other HOSA states yet so I am very biased at the moment in saying NY is my favorite state.

# data[].attributes.body
My fave HOSA chapter is my own because I can't wait to see it grow!! I love to have guest speakers at our HOSA meetings so we can grow and see different professionals from the health care community.

# data[].attributes.body
I love seeing all the kids in their matching shirts with big smiles learning about all things health care and getting involved and invested!!

My favorite HOSA state has got to be TEXAS!!! Go BIG or go home :)

I planning to reach out to Christus to see if they would like to be one of our sponsors. They are so good to our students allowing them to shadow in all of their departments.

Of course our chapter is our favorite. Midway High School HOSA!

# data[].attributes.body
We just began starting up during the past year, but had a Health Sciences Club previously, which we are now folding into our new HOSA Chapter. Both of our local healthcare networks, St. Luke's University Health Network and Lehigh Valley Health Network have been great partners. They have provided CPR/AED & Stop the Bleed training. They have sent us guest speakers and volunteer recruiters. They have sent a doctor to our school's Anatomy & Physiology classes to teach suturing, and invited some students to a simulation lab. And one of them has funded our startup this year, including providing funds for 3 students to attend the State Leadership Conference in 2025 if they quality.

# data[].attributes.body
Of course our favorite HOSA State is our home state of Pennsylvania, and our favorite chapters are our own new Easton Area High School chapter and the Career Institute of Technology chapter, also in our school district, where many students from our school district and other Lehigh Valley, PA school districts go for CTE, which has been in existence for years and years and has giving us great help in getting started.

My chapter is not new, but I am still relatively new to advising. Our school and HOSA chapter partners with Novant Health and Atrium Health in Charlotte. These two hospital systems do SO much to support our students and us teachers/advisors. We're looking forward to all of the opportunities that give us this year!

We love our friends from Children's of Alabama and UAB Hospitals. This amazing group of Respiratory Therapists came and gave our students an amazing opportunity. They educated them on the world of respiratory therapy and then gave the students the opportunity to intubate, provide CPR on an infant, and also to experience what some therapy might be like for the patients. Our students talked about this the rest of the year!

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite HOSA state would be my state, Alabama. I feel like we all work so well together sharing ideas, information, lessons, etc. My favorite chapter is mine :)

Though I am building a new chapter, I am really excited to get to team up with Kansas City University - College of Osteopathic Medicine! This was a major connection that I was able to secure over the summer, and I can't wait to see the impact it will have on our students.

# data[].attributes.body
Naturally, I'm biased. So, I would have to say that my favorite HOSA state is Missouri. My favorite high school chapter is the Blue Springs South Chapter. That is where I attended high school and got my exposure to HOSA. My soon-to-be-favorite middle school chapter is Northeast Middle, because I know that our students are bright, innovative, and passionate. I believe that it will translate into having a beautiful middle school chapter right in the heart of Kansas City.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a picture of the HOSA chapter that I helped to start when I was in high school. We were participating in a blood typing lab. It was a ton of fun, and you can clearly see the interest in the students. I hope to bring this same level of excitement and energy to this new chapter, 8 years later.

Texas Chapters because they are the hostesses with the mostest for ILC!

South Korea and China Chapters, they're super friendly members and advisors (with the very best pins to trade during ILC)

# data[].attributes.body
Currently my favorite partner is Willamette Dental. They are great at sponsoring events and providing educational sessions at both regional and state conferences. Our public health office also is very supportive and offers lots of educational opportunities.

I am working on more partnership opportunities so hopefully in the future there will be a long list.

# data[].attributes.body
Of course, being Chair of the Idaho HOSA Board of Directors, Idaho is my most favorite but Utah HOSA runs a close second. Denise Abbott is an amazing State Advisor and helped Idaho move forward with Post-Secondary HOSA.

Then there is the post-secondary crew from North Dakota that attended ILC and bonded with the Idaho PS crew.

My favorite HOSA state is my state of Iowa! We are working very hard to increase HOSA participation across the state and we all work so closely to try and achieve this goal. It is very supportive! My favorite chapter is all 6 of the chapters affiliated with Indian Hills Community College. We have 5 secondary chapters spread out across the 10 counties served by IHCC, and we will be starting a post-secondary chapter for the very first time this year!

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite HOSA state and chapter would most definitely be my own chapter in the quaint town of Ashland City, TN. The students are excited and LOVE all things HOSA!!

# data[].attributes.body
We have partnered with our elementary school to do many things. We get opportunities to work with and job shadow the school nurse, OT, and SLP providers. We also teach PreK - 2nd grade handwashing skills in the fall, and oral health/teeth brushing in the spring.
