How many states were part of HOSA during its initial organization?

The initial organization of HOSA, which took place in 1976, included six states. This founding group was instrumental in establishing the framework and goals of the organization, aimed at promoting career opportunities in the health care industry and enhancing the delivery of health care to all people. The involvement of these six states marked the beginning of HOSA's growth, eventually leading to a national presence and involvement from many more states over the subsequent years. Each state brought unique insights and needs to the table, which helped shape HOSA's development and success.
