THE CONNECTION IN EVERYDAY LIFE

The resident film

Everyday Care

Tap telehealth is so fast, so convenient and so helpful! It is a blessing in a rural area and little to no downtime from work.

Four films. Real perspectives.

The connection looks different.
The difference is personal.

A parent. A working family. Someone who checks back. The people who answer an emergency. Choose a story and hear it in their own words.

The next connection worth building

Communities build what
people depend on.

Roads connect us. Schools prepare us. Libraries open doors. Emergency services stand ready. Everyday access to care deserves a dependable place in that same community plan.

More than the visit

The next emergency
should find your
community ready.

A prescription running out. A parent unsure where to turn. Everyday concerns need a place to go—so emergency resources can stay focused on emergencies.

For an emergency, call 911. Never wait for a Tap reply.

THE VIEW FROM EMS
Being there is priceless.

For a loved one in a car accident. A heart attack. Signs of a stroke. A ready ambulance matters most when minutes matter.

A healthier rhythm for families

More time learning.
Less time finding care.

When care is easier to reach, a parent has guidance on what to do—and when a child can safely return. The benefit reaches the family, the classroom and the community.

School figures reported by Tap’s founder. The evaluation and reporting period have not yet been provided for independent review. Return to school depends on recovery and school policy.

The needs behind the messages

Everyday care.
Many reasons to reach out.

The reported diagnosis records show a range of needs. This gives leaders a view of the care people seek—not a count of ambulance trips prevented.

Selected diagnoses

January–August 2026 · 6,332 diagnosis records

Upper respiratory infection547
Unspecified sinus infection486
Urinary tract infection314
Bronchitis129
Strep throat198
Gastroenteritis / vomiting121
What these numbers mean

These six selected categories account for 1,795 of 6,332 diagnosis records; the remaining 4,537 use other labels. This is a selected mix, not a top-six ranking. Bronchitis combines the model labels Unspecified bronchitis, Bronchitis, Other bronchitis and Chronic bronchitis. Gastroenteritis / vomiting combines Gastroenteritis, Vomiting and Nausea and vomiting; it does not include Viral intestinal infection or Pregnancy vomiting. Counts are diagnosis rows, not distinct people or visits. City and platform-source filters do not apply, so these figures cannot support city-specific comparisons.

SOMEONE CHECKS BACK

The visit ends. The connection stays.

Care is personal.
So is checking back.

An answer in a difficult moment matters. So does hearing from someone afterward. Listen to what that follow-up meant.

A familiar idea. A new connection.

We fund the things
we want ready.

From roads to emergency response, communities create services that work because people support them together. The same question belongs in everyday care: what would it mean if every family had a dependable place to start?

How the 911 funding analogy fits

State and local governments help fund 911 through fees collected by telephone and wireless providers. It is a familiar example of preparing a shared service before it is needed. Tap is a separate care program; it does not replace 911 or draw on designated 911 fees.

National 911 Program
Coverage is changing. Why plan now?

Enhanced Marketplace premium help ended in 2025, although standard tax credits remain for eligible households. New Medicaid work or community-engagement requirements generally begin by January 2027 for certain adults, with exemptions and some earlier state starts. A dependable path to everyday care matters through those changes.

The conviction behind Tap

Build the bridge.
Before the flood.

Dr. Dirk Perritt’s experience serving as Rockwall County Health Authority shaped a conviction: communities need a dependable connection to everyday care in place before a crisis arrives.

Some families already have a doctor they can text—a relative or a trusted friend. Tap exists to put that kind of connection within every family’s reach, alongside the local doctors and services their community already has.

Your community. Your priorities.

Be the city that gave
every family a doctor.

Start with a work session: your council’s questions, in a room, before any vote. Or explore a smaller beginning—a ZIP code, a fire district or an employee program first.

Sources, footage & reporting context

Resident comments: selected positive service-experience feedback verified in Tap’s Power BI model on September 7, 2026. Identifying information is withheld. City attribution comes from the feedback model, not independent residency verification, municipal endorsement or confirmation of a citywide contract. No clinical record is attached to a comment.

Films feature testimonial interview excerpts; their experiences do not establish that every resident will have the same result. These films use the selected reference-score editions. Music and photography details accompany the films.

EMS: Tap’s Ferris account reports 20% fewer non-emergent runs. Its separate October 2024 city-manager letter reports a 19% decline in overall EMS call volume. These measures are distinct; neither is a guaranteed outcome.
