Barbara james service award

Two years ago, when Morton High School student Alexandra Medina was looking for future career experience at a “well-rounded place where I could obtain skills needed in the healthcare field,” she didn’t need to look far.

She found the experience she was looking for by volunteering at Community Hospital in Munster. Over the past two years, Medina has racked up more than 250+ service hours between 2019 and 2020, making her eligible to receive HOSA’s Barbara James Service Award for her efforts.

HOSA Future Health Professionals (formerly known as Health Occupations Students of America) is an international career and technical student organization endorsed by the U.S.

Department of Education and the Health Science Technology Education Division of ACTE. The Barbara James Service Award provides members with the opportunity to become contributing members of their communities by performing worthy volunteer community service hours related to health.
