Conrad HOSA Future Health Professionals had a very successful week at the Delaware State Leadership Conference March 27th-31st held at the University of Delaware STAR Campus. Fifty-five students competed in 17 events with 34 qualifying for the International Leadership Conference being held at the Disney Coronado Springs Resort June 21st-24th. They will compete and network with students from all over the United States, American Samoa, Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. Highlights of the conference included the PSA team winning back-to-back gold medals, the #9 seeded HOSA Bowl team defeating the #1 seed in the second round and going on to win the bronze medal, and the freshman First Aid and CPR team taking the gold medal.
