HOSA launches at OH: A new club for future health professionals

New OH club connects students to health careers, leadership, and service. For the first time in school history, OH has launched HOSA Future Health Professionals for the 2025–26 school year. This year-long club helps students explore health careers, build leadership, and volunteer. HOSA is an international organization that connects students to health-related experiences and competitions. At OH, HOSA also integrates the American Red Cross, giving members opportunities to volunteer at football games, blood drives, and local service projects. With more than 100 students signed up and a strong first-meeting turnout, HOSA is already making an impact.  Board members lead HOSA meetings in Room 255, engaging students in both discussions and upcoming program opportunities. Members listen attentively, ready to learn and participate.

HOSA gives them the chance to pursue their passion in medicine, while earning recognition, scholarships, and even internships.”
