TAP Health

What’s green and seen all over? The Hamilton County Health Department! This organization has a hand in so many community facilities from swimming pools, to restaurants, to schools. They oversee mosquito surveillance, bike lanes, disease tracking, waste management, and so much more!

The TAP students toured the facility, solved a mystery disease case, and got to hear from multiple speakers including health commissioner Greg Kesterman.

Thank you so much to Christa Hyson and the team at Hamilton County Public Health for putting on this wonderful event!

Today the TAP Health students were back out in the community visiting their 4th university of the summer: Mount Saint Joseph!

Here the students learned what it takes to be a Physician Assistant (PA) and got to try their hand at a few different PA skills. Students from the MSJ PA program provided one on one lessons in suturing and airway management, then hosted a Q and A panel about the steps to become a PA. The day came complete with a campus tour, gift raffle, and special guest 2019 TAP Health alimni Leah Rupp who is now a student in the PA program! Will one of the 2025 students follow in her footsteps?

Thank you so much to Mount St. Joseph University and their PA program students and staff for putting on such an excellent event!

There’s been an explosion💥…. a simulated one!

Under the guidance of EMS program chair Shawn Stacy at Cincinnati State, the TAP Health students learned valuable EMT and paramedic skills to face the disaster simulation head-on. Students transported and triaged patients, packing wounds and stablizing key joints as they went. This simulation was an incredible, interactive look into the lives of our first responding healthcare workers.

Thank you so much to Shawn Stacy and Cincinnati State Technical and Community College for putting on this crowd favorite event!
