What is HOSA?HOSA - Future Health Professionals used to be named Health Occupations Students of America. HOSA is an organization that aims to empower its members to pursue a career in the healthcare field at a time when doctors are needed more than ever, and develop students' leadership skills to prepare them for the professional world. HOSA hosts conferences (most notably its State and International Leadership Conferences) whose central activities are competitive events relating to leadership and healthcare. While competition is a large part of conferences, HOSA membership also brings workshops, speakers, and other healthcare-related opportunities to its students.

What does Ladue HOSA do?Ladue HOSA is a chapter of Missouri HOSA, which in turn is a state chapter of the main HOSA organization. Established by Ladue students, this chapter intends to not only prepare its students for competition and make the most of conferences, but also to provide its members the many resources and opportunities offered both by HOSA and locally. This year, Ladue HOSA is prepared to offer students new and engaging healthcare-related opportunities virtually and in-person, and remains dedicated to preparing for the spring State Leadership Conference.
