What is the main function of local HOSA chapters?

The primary function of local HOSA chapters is to implement HOSA programs at the school or community level. This involves organizing activities, events, and educational initiatives that align with HOSA’s mission to promote career opportunities in the healthcare field and engage students in health-related education. Local chapters create a supportive environment that encourages leadership development, community service, and networking among students with similar interests in health careers.

This focus on local implementation allows chapters to tailor their programs to meet the specific needs and interests of their members and the community they serve, ensuring that HOSA's impact is felt right where it matters most. It also fosters a sense of belonging and promotes participation in health-related activities, which is fundamental to the HOSA experience.
