"We’re incredibly grateful to Chamberlain University and Covista for helping us create educational opportunities for students who might not otherwise see a path into healthcare," said Deirdre Beluan, Chief Executive Officer, The Health Collaborative. "When students can meet real healthcare professionals and get hands-on experience early, it changes what they believe is possible for themselves, and it's exactly the kind of early exposure that helps build the nursing workforce our region needs. We're proud to deepen this work together over the next three years."

Mental health is a key priority of the Collective Health Agenda. Talbert House House, in partnership with the Hamilton County Mental Health and Recovery Services Board, is raising awareness of 988, the 24/7 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

With support from a recent 988 grant and The Health Collaborative, outreach efforts are expanding to reach young adults and employees.

During week two of the Healthcare Academy, participants from the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Cincinnati explored careers in geriatric care and engaged with cutting-edge healthcare simulation technology!

While visiting Twin Towers Senior Living Community, students learned about the importance of caring for people across generations. As part of the event, students enjoyed a career panel where they heard from a Nurse, a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), a Physical Therapist (PT), a Wellness Coordinator, and a Healthcare Administrator. They also toured the community and spent time painting with residents in the memory care unit creating individual pieces of art. Special thanks to Dustin Bishop and Jesssica Olis for not only coordinating the Twin Towers experience, but also for sharing their passion for serving older adults.

At Cincinnati State’s Health Simulation Lab, students were immersed in realistic healthcare training experiences led by Rachel Meier, MSN, RNC-MNN, and Ryan Chapman. Participants interacted with advanced patient simulation manikins, practiced using stethoscopes, learned how to properly hold an infant, and even observed and participated in a labor and delivery patient simulator experience. Rachel and Ryan created an engaging, welcoming environment that encouraged students to ask questions and learn new skills.

We are thankful to both of these partners for making these memories with BGCGC students!

🎓✨Congratualtions to the 2026 TAP Health Summer Academy graduates!

After weeks of hands-on learning, career exploration, and unforgettable experiences, we came together to celebrate the incredible accomplishments of our students. Throughout the program, students explored a wide variety of healthcare careers, connected with dedicated professionals, developed new clinical skills, and gained valuable insight into the many pathways available in healthcare.

A heartfelt thank you to all of our hosts, community partners, and sponsors for opening your doors, sharing your expertise, and creating meaningful, hands-on experiences for our students. We are incredibly grateful for your investment in the next generation of healthcare professionals. The biggest thank you to our students and their families for making this summer such a success. It has been an honor to be part of your journey, and we hope the connections, experiences, and memories you’ve made will inspire you for years to come.

It feels like Orientation was just yesterday and now Graduation has come and gone! This summer was an incredible journey. Over the past two months, I’ve had the privilege of watching every student grow in confidence, professionalism, and self-awareness. As they explored careers across healthcare, they gained a deeper understanding of how every role contributes to patient care and learned important lessons about the paths that are right for them. I know they leave this program better prepared as students, future college applicants, and future professionals, with curiosity, teamwork, and compassion that healthcare needs.

For any THSA student reading this: I am so proud of each and every one of you. You are more than capable of being excellent healthcare professionals and leaders someday. Watching your growth this summer has been a privilege. On behalf of myself, our interns Jess and Lucy, and everyone at The Health Collaborative, we’re honored to be part of your journey, and we look forward to seeing all that you accomplish in the future.

Congratulations, graduates - we can’t wait to see where your future in healthcare takes you! 💙🩺

Yesterday, our TAP Health students wrapped up an incredible summer of events with an inspiring Neurology 101 experience at Atrium Medical Center! 🧠✨

Students explored the fascinating world of neurology, learned how CT scans play a critical role in patient care, and gained firsthand insight into stroke assessment as Dr. Elizabeth Gilbert demonstrated how healthcare professionals evaluate patients and distinguish stroke symptoms from other conditions. It was an unforgettable opportunity to see clinical decision-making in action!

Our students also had the privilege of connecting with Dr. Robb Snider via Zoom, who generously shared his journey as a neurologist, answered thoughtful questions, and inspired the next generation of healthcare professionals with his knowledge and passion for the field. We also toured the inpatient rehabilitation center, where students experienced the innovative simulation technology and therapies used to help patients regain independence and return to their fullest potential.

A huge thank you to Elizabeth Gilbert, MSN, APRN, AGCNS-BC, ASC-BC, Mikasa T. Veal, M.Ed., Academic Partnership Manager, and Dr. Robb Snider for making this incredible experience possible and for investing your time, expertise, and encouragement into our students.

Thank you Atrium Health, for giving our students such a meaningful look into the world of neurology and rehabilitation. What an amazing way to conclude an unforgettable TAP Health Summer Academy! 💙🩺

Get a behind-the-scenes look at what medical research really looks like! 🩺🔬

Yesterday we attended the Cincinnati Children’s Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Capstone Project & Research Poster Symposium, where undergraduate researchers will showcase the projects they’ve spent the summer developing.

We were welcomed by Dr. Tara Calhoun, a pediatric hospitalist at Cincinnati Children’s, who introduced the symposium, explained what we would be seeing, and shared what’s okay to ask, discuss, and explore throughout the event.

Thinking about medical school? Many future physicians participate in research poster presentations, whether through a SURF program or later in medical school, making this a valuable opportunity to see academic medicine in action.

Come curious, ask questions, and get inspired by the future of medicine! ✨
