​The international HOSA theme for the 2025-2026 school year was announced as CHAMPIONS OF CHANGE! As we begin the year, we invite you to embrace this year’s ILC theme, CHAMPIONS OF CHANGE, by collaborating with HOSA members within and outside of your chapters. You are bound to build connections with not only members and advisors but many valued professionals in healthcare. One who finds a home in HOSA finds a family for life!
 
Affiliated members had an opportunity to submit a brand design concept for both the 2025-2026 t-shirt and lapel pin to be displayed and distributed at the Missouri HOSA State Leadership Conference. We had a resounding 50 design submissions! A judge committee was put together and decided on the Top 10 designs. And the Top 10 design submissions were voted on at the Missouri HOSA 2025 Fall Leadership Conference on October 12-13, 2025, by the registered participants. Submissions were encouraged to incorporate this year’s HOSA Theme and the Missouri HOSA them of Expanding Horizons.
