New Prairie HOSA Future Health Professionals to compete at international competition

New Prairie HOSA- Future Health Professionals is proud to announce the students who have qualified for the International Leadership Competition (ILC). Students competed at the State Leadership Conference in April, with top performers earning a spot at ILC. Originally the ILC was scheduled in Houston, Texas June 23-26, but will now take place virtually due to Covid restrictions.

The mission of HOSA is to empower HOSA-Future Health Professionals to become leaders in the global health community through education, collaboration, and experience. Students have the opportunity to compete against other students in various health related events. Aside from the experience and recognition, students can also earn scholarships to various academic institutions.

New Prairie has both high school and middle school students competing at ILC 2020. Although several students qualified in multiple events, students can only compete in one competitive event at ILC.

Follow New Prairie HOSA on their Facebook page to see the many exciting things they are doing and the success students have at ILC. You can also learn more about HOSA at www.hosa.org.
