Inglemoor HOSA is the Inglemoor Chapter of the National HOSA-Future Health Professionals, a national student organization recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Health Science Education (HSE) Division of ACTE.

 

HOSA's two-fold mission is to promote career opportunities in the health care industry and to enhance the delivery of quality health care to all people. Anyone interested in the medical field can join the club to learn more about the medical sciences, compete in state competitions, and have community service opportunities in the health field. 

 

Since its inception in 1976, HOSA has grown steadily reaching over 200,000 members through 51 chartered HOSA Associations, American Samoa, Canada, District of Columbia, Germany, Italy, and Puerto Rico.

HOSA is a powerful instructional tool that works best when it is integrated into the HSE  and health science related curriculum and classroom. HSE instructors are committed to the development of the total person. Those who join the HSE-HOSA Partnership recognize the importance of providing students with training far beyond the basic technical skills needed for entry into the health care field. The rapidly changing health care system needs dedicated workers who, in addition to their technical skills, are people-oriented and capable of playing a leadership or followership role as a member of a health care team.

​

HOSA's mission is especially critical when considering the acute shortage of qualified workers for the health care industry. It is essential that students have enough resource and support to reach their career goals in the medical field.
