These students are the face of the future of health care in our state and county. HOSA is the largest organization to serve students who plan to pursue a healthcare career. HOSA s two-fold mission is to promote career opportunities in the healthcare industry and to enhance the delivery of quality healthcare to all people. The current and projected shortage of healthcare professionals in North Dakota is creating a critical demand for an increased healthcare workforce. The North Dakota HOSA program prepares students to graduate with the skills necessary to make them career and college ready for degrees in much needed professions in the healthcare field. Because of the large number of national participants, the Killdeer HOSA chapter will be required to raise approximately $12, for the trip.
