HOSA will be taking a trip down to the Johns Hopkins Children’s House on Saturday September 29th, 2007. Here is a quick blurb about the Children’s House and what they do:

“The Children’s House at Johns Hopkins is part of the hospital housing program of the Believe In Tomorrow National Children’s Foundation. This facility offers affordable housing for families of pediatric patients who visit the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. It is our purpose to keep families together in the midst of medical crisis, to reduce stress and promote self help and mutual support. Young people who receive medical treatment away from home need the emotional support of their families, and those families need a “home-away-from-home,” where they can restore their own physical and emotional energies.” (taken from the Children’s House Website)

This will be a great time to get out and help others, while having fun with some of your JHU buddies. Our “photos” page features some pictures from last years trip.

As mentioned previously the trip is scheduled to take place on September 29th, 2007. We are scheduled to go there each saturday, so if you can’t go one week, you can always go next week. Be sure to let one of your officers know a few days in advance if you plan on going.

For more information about the Children’s House and what they do please check out their website.

EDIT-1: 1st Trip Date Finalized

We would like to announce that HOSA will be showing a movie on Wednesday September 19th, 2007. The movie is entitled “Something the Lord Made.”

Here is a little excerpt of what the movie is about: Something the Lord Made “tells the emotional true story of two men who defied the rules of their time to launch a medical revolution, set against the backdrop of the Jim Crow south. Working in 1940s Baltimore on an unprecedented technique for performing heart surgery on “blue babies”, Dr. Alfred Blalock and lab technician Vivien Thomas form an impressive team. As Blalock and Thomas invent a new field of medicine, saving thousands of lives in the process, social pressures threaten to undermine their collaboration and tear them apart.”

This movie is actually related to JHU interestingly enough, so to learn more come out to the event. Here are the details.
