Spotlight Campaign

Workforce Innovation is building the next generation of healthcare professionals

In 2024, The Health Collaborative awarded $22,300 in micro-grants to six local workforce partners, supporting nearly 500 middle and high school students in the Cincinnati area as they explored careers in healthcare.

Now, we need your support to continue this vital program.

Your donation—no matter the size—will directly fund the next round of micro-grants, enabling even more students to explore the wide array of available in-demand healthcare careers. 

As we approach the end of the year, we’re calling on our community to help continue this program and inspire the next generation of healthcare professionals. Together, we can take a crucial step toward closing the healthcare workforce gap in our region

TAP Health is building the next generation of healthcare professionals

Your support is essential to our success. It enables us to expand our ability to equitably grow our region’s future healthcare talent pipeline, regardless of any student’s race, ethnicity, school, zip code, or finances. 

TAP Health includes two distinct programs that offer valuable career exploration to nearly 1,000 high school students each year. Our TAP Health Summer Academy provides students with a wide array of on-site and hands-on experiences with healthcare professionals, to learn about in-demand physician, nursing, and allied health careers. HealthFORCE, our annual healthcare career expo, allows students from across the region to explore an entire range of healthcare careers and pathways in just a half-day! Through TAP Health, The Health Collaborative provides students valuable knowledge and practical insights to help them make informed decisions about their future education and professional paths.

We rely on sponsorships to operate and grow the size, impact, and accessibility of TAP Health for all students. We ask that you consider contributing directly to the success of this initiative to enable us to continue to provide comprehensive and enriching experiences for all.
