What is HOSA?
HOSA stands for Health Occupations Student of America and is a club tailored for
future health professionals. At Hillcrest our goal is to expand interest in health-
related fields, whether they be surgery, forensics, technical support, nursing,
psychology, and much more. Hillcrest HOSA hosts a variety of activities, guest
speakers, and training for high school students who plan to pursue this career, and
gives students the opportunity to excel in healthcare and even earn scholarships.
Meetings:
Hillcrest HOSA meets every Thursday after school in the hosting room (A176)
Meetings may include activities such as optional dissections, CPR training,
professional guest speakers, and preparation for competitions.
Competitions:
The State Leadership Conference will cost an additional fee and is an opportunity
to engage and compete in health career activities. HOSA members prepare to
compete in chosen events through the school year and compete in March. There is
no guarantee that every student will go to state. Members must show their
dedication and will be chosen to go to state based on their performance.
International Leadership Conference is the competition you may move onto if you
place top three in your category in Utah. This competition is held in June and
requires travel. More information is available after SLC.
Fundraisers:
HOSA will host various fundraisers throughout the school year and members are
expected to participate in these to the best of their ability, to run a club successfully
we must be able to fund activities and supplies. Students that do not participate in
fundraisers will not be chosen to go to the state competition.

is currently a student at Hillcrest High School. I understand that my student wishes to participate
in the student club or organization named above at the school (“this club”). If a club is authorized
by the school, that authorization allows the club to use certain school premises and facilities, but

participation in this club are voluntary. I understand that this club is not sponsored by the school,
and is directed by the student officers of this club. During approved club meetings on school
premises, a district employee will be present for custodial purposes. The role of the district

district employee will normally not be present at activities off of school premises.
Clubs are authorized by the school based on its stated purpose and activities as set forth in the
club application and charter. I understand that I may make arrangements to inspect a copy of the
application and charter of this club, which describes the nature, purposes, structure, and other
information about this club. I am satisfied that, by either obtaining information from my student or by
inspecting the charter, or both, I have sufficient information about this club to make an informed decision
regarding my student’s participation in this club. With all of these considerations in mind, I authorize my
student’s participation in this club. I further understand that my consent may be withdrawn at any time
by my notifying the school in writing of that withdrawal of consent.

Utah HOSA Covid Information Sheet
HOSA is offering an in-person attendance at the 2021 Fall Leadership Conference in Provo, Utah, to affiliated
members, advisors, state staff, and guests pursuant to local government orders permitting such gatherings at
this time. HOSA requires all attendees and staff to comply with safety precautions specified in the state, local
government, and CDC guidelines. Any person refusing to comply with required safety protocols will be asked to
leave the 2021 Fall Leadership Conference at their own expense. Each person should review and personally
assess the following items related to Covid-19 exposure.
I confirm that I have not knowingly been exposed to anyone testing positive or presenting symptoms of COVID-
19 within the last six (6) days before arriving on site.
I confirm I have not myself tested positive or presented any of the symptoms of COVID-19 listed below.
I will not enter the FLC conference area if I am experiencing any signs or symptoms of COVID-19. I
acknowledge that common symptoms of COVID-19 include:
Fever (temperature of 100.4 F or higher)
I confirm I will immediately leave the 2021 FLC conference area and notify HOSA Staff if I, or someone I have
been in close contact with, is exposed to COVID-19, exhibits COVID-19 symptoms or receives a positive COVID-
19 test result.
I expressly agree to fully comply with appropriate COVID-19 health and safety measures and protocols set for
attendance at the 2021 FLC, including complying with current face mask policies at all times and maintain
appropriate social distance in accordance with applicable state and local requirements.
While in attendance at the 2021 FLC, I will make every effort to maintain CDC recommended hygiene
procedures at all times, including following the guidelines of frequent hand washing (or suitable hand sanitizer),
avoid touching my eyes, nose, and mouth in public places and covering coughs or sneezes with a tissue or
inside my elbow.
Assumption of Risk: The COVID-19 virus continues to spread from person-to-person contact and other means,
and people reportedly can spread the disease without showing symptoms. Evidence has shown that COVID-19
can cause serious and potentially life-threatening illness and even death. Therefore, if you choose to
participate in the 2021 in-person FLC, you may be exposing yourself to or increasing your risk of contracting or
spreading COVID-19, despite our safety precautions. In exchange for being allowed to participate in the 2021
in-person FLC, I hereby choose to accept the risk of contracting COVID-19 for myself or my family.
Waiver of Lawsuit/Liability: By choosing to attend this conference, I hereby forever release and waive my right
to bring suit against HOSA and its officers, directors, managers, officials, trustees, agents, employees, or other
representatives in connection with exposure, infection, and/or spread of COVID-19 related to my participation
in 2021 Fall Leadership Conference.
NOTE: Be advised that Hillcrest HOSA students may travel with their own transportation
throughout the school year and summer break, attending camps, conferences, completing
projects, gathering supplies or any other Hillcrest HOSA function.
Students may need to drive to an activity when transpiration is not provided by the district and
we encourage students to participate.
Students may be asked to help with school related activates by advisors that requires them to
drive.
