We have included you in this mailing because of your vested interest in ensuring Colorado’s future is filled with high-quality healthcare workers and leaders. This is the one time of the year when we ask trusted partners and caring companies and individuals to provide conference sponsorships and scholarships to support students seeking postsecondary education and becoming future healthcare professionals. HOSA – Future Health Professionals is the only student organization operating in America’s high schools for young people enrolled in health science programs and interested in pursuing careers in the health professions. Through your involvement with Colorado HOSA, you have access to tomorrow’s healthcare professionals. With over 1,500 HOSA members in Colorado and 165,000 nationwide, your contribution ensures we are preparing for the demands of the healthcare workforce. Will you help us in our goal to attract high-quality individuals into the state’s healthcare industry? After all, these students will be the ones we rely on in the near future when we have a need to visit a hospital, physician’s office, or dental office. Here’s how you can help: Check the level of support you are willing to commit to Colorado’s students. You can choose to give a scholarship, sponsor an event or sponsor the annual conference that provides educational and leadership opportunities to students. Don’t see the amount that fits your budget?
