Health Alliance for Austin Musicians

Keeping Music in Austin Alive & Well

About Me

The Health Alliance for Austin Musicians is a groundbreaking project, whose mission is to provide access to affordable health care for Austin's uninsured musicians, focusing on prevention and wellness. Austin is the "Live Music Capital of the World," yet many professional working musicians are self-employed and rarely have access to health insurance. Without insurance, they can't afford preventive health care, and often delay seeking care until forced to go the emergency room- the most expensive kind of treatment. Partners in the alliance include The Seton Family of Hospitals, which provides primary health care, St. David's Community Health Foundation, which provides basic dental care, and The SIMS Foundation, which provides mental health counseling.For more information or to make a donation: www.myhaam.org
