HOSA’s Commitment to Make a Difference
“Producing a vaccine for COVID-19 is of extreme importance but equally important is finding a cure for a 400-year infection called systemic racism. We are proud to be associated with fellow health professionals who, after long hours of caring for patients battling coronavirus, go to the street to show their support of those protesting for equal opportunity and justice for all -- no more no less. If the goal of HOSA-Future Health Professionals is saving lives, we understand that life is precious and we should respect, value, and treat each life accordingly. HOSA-Future Health Professionals is committed to ensuring that all youth are valued and safe, and that the inequitable systems young people face every day are addressed for change to a equity. As a partner of America’s Promise, HOSA-Future Health Professionals raises its voice along side hundreds of other youth serving partners to support the unified statement, “Racial Trauma and Young People – Why We Can’t Stay Silent!” America's Promise to Make a Difference”
