This year, the chapter spotlight is on Prosper ISD’s Rock Hill High School. RHHS has a very robust HOSA chapter, embodying all of the core values of HOSA, that being to learn, lead, serve, and innovate. To learn, they host study groups for competitions, helping members to not just prepare for their competition, but also learn more about the healthcare field and their fellow members. To lead, they host the Meet the Future event, in which members have the opportunity to see what their future as healthcare professionals may appear like as various health professionals come to the campus and
speak about their careers. This encourages students to ind their passion or a certain health career. To serve, RHHS does plenty o service projects, including blood drives, donations, and the PFF walk, The blood drive specifically done with Carter blood care, which handles the check-in and ensures member safety post-donation. Donations are also done with Clyde Casper Retirement Veterans Home, in which member prepare and donate care packages and sped time with residents, helping them to enjoy their day. Finally, for innovation, RHHS hosts a variety of activities that involve direct communication between members and leaders. Member always have the opportunity to give feedback on fundraisers, and have a direct say in what events to participate in based on polls sent out. Furthermore, members can speak about their owns HOSA
experience and why they joined through scheduled Wednesday social media posts, in which members give insight as to why they chose to join HOSA and why others should join as well. Similarly, they have “health professional Fridays” in which members talk about what healthcare career they would like to pursue in the future.
