More and Better Opportunities in the Health Science Community • HOSA future health professionals • After learning CPR, we have more opportunities for hands on work experience • After attending HOSA, our CTSO, we had more publicity and more students interested in our program. • Not us…students are the face and the driving force to adding these community skills and partnerships

  5. BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS • CERT • CHAMPS CAMP After CERT training, we had a better relationship with local fire fighters and police and city staff; students participate as CERT members! Our students plan and lead nutrition and exercise classes at the feeder middle school from 3:30-5 twice a week for 6-8 weeks in the Spring and Fall. The culmination brings parents and teachers to celebrate as well.
