HOSA is a student organization that has gained recognition on the national level. HOSA is officially recognized by the U.S.. Department of Education and almost every college in the nation.  
 
HOSA has a two-fold mission: First, to promote career opportunities in the health care industry. Secondly, to enhance the delivery of quality health care to all people.
 
Our main goal for our HOSA chapter at John Foster Dulles High School is to encourage all health science students, and other students interested in the medical field to join and be actively involved in our program.To be actively involved is quite simple, and requires only two steps. First is to come to meetings which are held every 1st and 2nd Thursday of the month. Secondly we volunteer in the local community multiple times throughout the school year, and as a member we expect you to join us in our efforts to better the lives of the less fortunate. 
 
The HOSA club here at DHS provides each member a  unique opportunity to develop essential skills necessary of a healthcare provider such as leadership development, motivation, time management and of course recognition by the local community and colleges around the nation.
