鶹Ƶ Launches New HOSA Collegiate Chapter, Strengthening Pathways for Future Health Professionals

Jan 30, 2026 by Staff Reports

MURFREESBORO, N.C. — 鶹Ƶ has announced the launch of its new HOSA–Future Health Professionals collegiate chapter, expanding opportunities for students pursuing careers in healthcare, public health, and allied health fields. The chapter, officially established this semester, reflects the university’s commitment to preparing students for meaningful service and leadership in rapidly growing health professions.

HOSA is an international organization dedicated to developing the next generation of healthcare leaders through professional development, skills training, networking, and competitive events. The new Chowan chapter will provide students with hands‑on experiences, mentorship, and exposure to a wide range of health‑related careers.

One of the chapter’s first activities was a guided tour of ECU Health Roanoke-Chowan Hospital, where students met with healthcare professionals, explored clinical departments, and learned about the essential role regional hospitals play in serving rural communities. The visit offered students a firsthand look at patient care, hospital operations, and the diverse career pathways available within the healthcare system.

“I am proud to see our students take this important step toward their future in the health professions,” said Dr. John Dilustro, Provost of 鶹Ƶ. “The launch of our HOSA chapter reflects Chowan’s mission to prepare graduates who are both professionally capable and committed to serving others. We appreciate the willingness of ECU Health Roanoke-Chowan Hospital to offer our students invaluable exposure to real‑world healthcare environments and the people who make them work.”

Chapter President and 鶹Ƶ sophomore Aminah Stout shared her excitement about the organization’s launch. “I felt that starting a HOSA chapter would create a space where pre‑health students can come together to learn more about their future careers, while also being able to gain more hands‑on experiences,” Stout said.

The new HOSA chapter will host service projects, guest speakers, and career‑focused events throughout the year. Students will also have the opportunity to participate in state and national HOSA conferences and competitions. 鶹Ƶ invites interested students from all majors—particularly those studying biology, exercise science, pre-professional pathways, and related fields—to join the chapter and take part in shaping its inaugural year.
