Greetings Telehealth and Digital Inclusion Partners,



In anticipation of Digital Inclusion Week<https://www.digitalinclusion.org/diw2025/>, the NRTRC needs your help reaching 250 Telehealth Access Points (TAPs) on the NRTRC Find Telehealth Map.<https://findtelehealth.nrtrc.org/>  WE ARE JUST 26 SITES AWAY FROM REACHING OUR GOAL!!!



A TAP is a public-facing space that furnishes a device with working camera, speaker and microphone, an internet connection and privacy considerations in the form of a dedicated room or kiosk for the general public to access a telehealth appointment.  These have been found throughout the nation at community anchor institutions like libraries, social service agencies, community health centers and more.  The NRTRC began mapping public-facing TAPs in 2023 in hopes of creating awareness of the spaces that are available for telehealth appointments and also to help navigators, providers and telehealth participants to find the resources they are looking for to participate in access to telehealth services.



We are thrilled to announce that as of today, we have mapped over 220 TAPs in all around the country, thank you so much to everyone that has contributed so far!  But we know there are more out there, and we are less than 30 away from our goal!  We are striving to map 250 or more of these by the time Digital Inclusion Week rolls out on October 6th and we need your help to accomplish this.  If your organization or any organization you know of is providing a TAP in your community, please fill out this form<https://wimtracking.com/taps/> to get it on the map.  TAPs continue to be self-enrolling so you can do this at any time.



We appreciate your participation in this journey and look forward to celebrating this milestone with you all in October. If you have questions about the NRTRC find telehealth map, feel free to reference this user guide,<https://nrtrc.org/downloads/findtelehealthdigitalguide.pdf> or reach out to us directly.





Thanks,

Jaleen Johnson
