About HAAM
HAAM provides access to affordable healthcare for greater Austin’s low-income, working musicians, with a focus on prevention and wellness. Many Austin musicians are self-employed and have no access to health insurance or basic healthcare. They often work multiple jobs and struggle to pay for basic needs such as food, clothing and shelter, with nothing left for healthcare.
That’s where HAAM comes in. By resolving challenges such as long-neglected dental work to hearing loss, heart problems and depression, HAAM and our healthcare partners improve and save musicians’ lives, enhancing Austin’s economy and quality of life. Austin is the "Live Music Capital of the World," and we aim to keep it that way.
HAAM has helped 6,700 musicians across seven counties access over $144 million in healthcare services since we began in 2005.
Services include routine dental work, doctor visits and prescriptions, psychiatric counseling sessions, eye exams, out-patient procedures,
specialist referrals, hearing screenings, basic needs assistance and more.
ANNUAL IMPACT REPORTS
HAAM is pleased to present our 2023 Annual Impact Report. Here you will find stories and data showcasing
the significant community impact HAAM provides to our local musicians.
Each Annual Report provides a snap shot of HAAM's growth and progress since we began in 2005, but more importantly,
the Reports tell the stories of Austin's musicians and how HAAM has impacted their lives.
Music is a universal language. In good times and bad, live music lifts the spirit and brings joy to those who hear it.
Health Alliance for Austin Musicians proudly supports the diverse music community that call greater Austin, home.
