Get involved · Chapters
The alliance is its chapters.
A chapter is a student-led club at your school or campus, backed by a real 501(c)(3). It comes with a board to run it, programs ready to launch, verified service hours, and a stage to publish your members' work. You bring the people; we hand you the playbook.
Why NHA
What a chapter really is.
Anyone can start a club. An NHA chapter starts with the things most clubs spend years building, on day one.
Verified service hours
Every event, article, and hour your members log gets verified and tracked toward Bronze, Silver, and Gold, the kind of record that supports awards like the President's Volunteer Service Award and HOSA's Barbara James Service Award.
A stage for your voices
Members' articles and artwork get published under their own names on NHA's channels, where people actually see them.
Research you can join
Chapters plug into mentored, real research, a rare chance to contribute to published work while you're still in school.
A national network
You're part of a growing alliance of chapters, with national leader meetings, shared resources, and recognition behind your name.
A starter kit + a real org
Charter, branding, an NHA email, templates, and mentorship, all backed by a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
Structure
Your chapter board.
A chapter runs on a small board of 3–10 core members. Smaller chapters combine roles; you grow into the rest.
What a chapter does
The rhythm of a chapter.
Light to run, built to last. Here's what being an NHA chapter actually means each semester:
- 01 Build a core team of 3–10 members within about two months.
- 02 Run at least 2 NHA events or initiatives a semester.
- 03 Publish members' work and log service hours.
- 04 Join a virtual National Chapter Leaders meeting each semester.
- 05 Send a short semester report and one initiative reflection.
- 06 Uphold the pillars: Advocacy, Education, Research.
