As the year advances, the Parrish Community High School Health Occupations Students of America club is preparing for future regional and state competitions, beginning through the HOSA leadership camp held on November 14th.
Here, students were able to meet other HOSA students from different schools, discuss the dates in the region, and gather updates on the regional and state conference. Students were also able to develop leadership skills, participate in competitive events, attend educational sessions, and connect with peers and health professionals.
Fourteen of the PCHS HOSA students attended the leadership camp.

The regional conference discussed during the leadership camp provides workshops and leadership training. The conference also allows students to compete in health/medical related events, such as CPR/First aid, medical terminology, nursing assisting, health career display, public speech, and more. The students who qualify as top competitors are to advance onto the state conference.
For the state conference, it features state-level competitions for those who qualified at regionals. It is the final round of competitive events, opening/closing ceremonies, Awards sessions, and career and college expos.
There was also an opportunity where the students of PCHS HOSA were able to run for regional officer positions, where they have presented a speech for why they would be a great candidate to be for their chosen regional officer role; those who had passed and were elected are:
Regional Vice President: Grace Delk
Regional Parliamentarian: Cooper Korney
Regional Secretary: Camerian Harling
Korney, the new regional office secretary and the PCHS HOSA Historian, had many hopes for the camp, saying “It is a networking opportunity. I am going to learn how to be a better leader in these positions in the future. I hope to also make more connections with other officers in the Region.”
The school's HOSA organization helps provide students with experience in the medical field, and many have plans for the futures where HOSA plays a great role in their success.
“I plan to apply for SCF then transfer to MTC for a surgical technology program. My role in HOSA will help me be successful in those fields,” Korney says.
As the school year continues, the HOSA club will continue to teach students, provide experience, and prepare them for the upcoming competitions with high hopes of making it to states.
