Which U.S. government agency does HOSA collaborate with for Emergency Preparedness?

HOSA collaborates with the Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) for Emergency Preparedness initiatives. The MRC is a network of volunteers organized to improve the health and safety of communities. HOSA partners with the MRC to enhance the preparedness of students in health-related fields, providing them with opportunities to engage in community service projects that focus on emergency response and preparedness. This collaboration helps to create awareness and encourages student involvement in public health efforts during emergencies, reinforcing the importance of being prepared and responsive in times of crisis.

Other choices, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), are significant in public health and emergency management but are not specifically designated for collaboration with HOSA in the capacity of emergency preparedness as is the MRC.
