HOSA NLC
June 26, 2013 | Posted in Uncategorized | By drsmespinoza
The HOSA National Leadership Conference was a fantastic experience. Brittany and Elizabeth were able to see many healthcare exhibits, workshops, Nashville attractions, and shows, as they prepared for and competed in the National level HOSA competitions.
One special highlight was when the students were able to meet Dr. Ben Carson, and his wife. Dr. and Mrs. Carson asked the students about their future school and career goals and Dr. Carson encouraged them to pursue their dreams without discouragement. Later that evening the students were able to hear Dr. Carson’s inspirational key note address, where he encouraged all student to focus on what is really important.
At the awards event,although we did not bring home any awards for BTW, we were happy to cheer on and congratulate medal recipients from Georgia, including two students from Carver Health as well as our former classmate, Angelica.
Congratulations!
