2008 Annual Report HAAMTM Letter from the Chairman of the Board

Health Alliance for Austin Musicians Dear Friends: Carolyn Schwarz, Executive Director The year 2008 was an exciting year for Health Alliance for Austin Musicians (HAAM) and me personally. In January I P.O. Box 301496 became the Board Chairman, and my enthusiasm for our organization’s mission and the musicians we serve redoubled. Austin, TX 78703-0025 I love living in Austin, and the abundance of live music is one of the aspects that makes it such a wonderful place to live. www.MyHaam.org Our city’s culture and economy rely heavily on the music industry (to the tune of $1 billion in economic activity and $25 512-322-5177 million in tax revenue), and yet the musicians themselves live on very low incomes and are uninsured; they are amongst the ranks of the working poor. Our Mission Before HAAM, affordable healthcare services were out of reach and musicians would delay seeking care until forced to go to the emergency room, the most expensive place to receive treatment. Since the inception of HAAM four years ago, more Health Alliance for Austin Musicians provides access to affordable than 1,400 musicians, most of whom earn less than $15,000 a year, have gained access to needed medical, dental and healthcare to Austin’s low-income, uninsured working musicians. mental health services, thus freeing up the emergency rooms for those in critical need of that care. Thank you for making this possible! Our Service Providers: In 2008, Carolyn Schwarz formally stepped into the role of executive director and I am proud to report that under her leadership HAAM maintained its 94 percent approval rating for quality of care and services. Thank you not only to Carolyn Seton Family of Hospitals but also to the affiliate service providers from Seton Family of Hospitals, St. David’s Community Health Foundation provides primary medical care.
