HOSA is one of the career focused extracurricular opportunities offered at Bedford Public Schools. HOSA (Health Occupation Students of America) works to enhance the delivery of compassionate, quality health care by providing opportunities for knowledge, skill and leadership development of high school, post-secondary and middle school students interested in healthcare.
