Mission Statement

The mission of HOSA is to enhance the delivery of compassionate, quality health care by providing opportunities for knowledge, skill and leadership development of health science education students, therefore, helping HOSA members and advisors to meet the needs of the health care community.

NJ HOSA loves to have fun.

At the northern conference our students had fun playing Don't Forget the Lyrics singing and dancing to PSY's "Gangnam Style." NJ HOSA conferences are events that you don't want to miss.

Dr. Randal Pinkett--Scholar, Author, Entrepreneur--will surely motivate those attending this year's State Leadership Conference to be held at Monmouth County Vocational Technical Schools in March (http://www.njhosa.org/states.htm). The SLC is an exciting two-day event filled with campaigning, competitions, scholarships and much more. To learn more about Dr. Pinkett, visit http://randalpinkett.com.
