Mecosta Osceola Career Center

Since HOSA began in 1976, it has been inspiring its members to be active participants in their communities, learn the qualities of a health professional, and the skills they will need in their future careers so that they are better prepared for their schooling and qualified for their trade. It encourages the building of communication skills, character, and teamwork.

Mecosta Oscola Career Center, one of our Region 6 schools, have started off this year working on team building within their classroom, communication skills in preparation for their health-field rotations, and are also learning about the cell and its functions. Currently, they have finished their professional and elderly interviews and are placed in healthcare settings learning about the occupations firsthand.

Mecosta Oscola has also sent its HOSA Chapter officers to the Region 6 Fall conference that took place at Ferris University, November 2nd. Chapters from all over the region attended to learn about the new service learning project (G-Merge), how to run effective meetings, and what goals they want to set for their chapter this year.

Mecosta just recently put together a Christmas dinner for 150 senior citizens at their local nursing home. Santa and Mrs. Claus attended and the students sang Christmas carols and handed out gifts bags to the residents.
