PHOTO BY BRENDA LADD PHOTOGRAPHY HAAM ANNUAL REPORT 2013 www.myhaam.org Dear Friends of HAAM: The year 2013 brought many changes to the health care landscape in our nation, our community and to the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians (HAAM). But through it all, HAAM’s core values and mission remained rock solid. We love Austin. We love live music. And we love what HAAM does for Austin’s musicians. Two major changes affected HAAM in 2013. First, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) began to take effect—opening new doors for many HAAM members to obtain health insurance. Although some people thought that the ACA might reduce the need for HAAM, nothing could be further from the truth. Because Texas did not follow many other states and expand its Medicaid eligibility, more than 60% of current HAAM members still need HAAM to access affordable health care. Additionally, the ACA does not usually provide the dental, vision, hearing and other health care services that are currently available to HAAM members. The second major change for HAAM in 2013 was the departure of our much loved, longtime executive director, Carolyn Schwarz, who deftly guided the organization for eight years. We wish her well and welcome Reenie Collins to our team as executive director. A native Austinite with deep roots in the health care and non-profit community, Reenie is passionate about HAAM and its mission. Reenie has a long-standing history with the HAAM family and actually worked as a health care consultant to our founder Robin Shivers in 2005 when HAAM was being formed. Throughout all the transitions, HAAM members continued to receive expert care from our outstanding affiliate service providers: the Seton Healthcare Family (primary health care), the St. David’s Foundation in partnership with the Capital Area Dental Foundation (dental health), the SIMS Foundation (mental health), Estes Audiology (hearing care), Prevent Blindness Texas (vision care) and Whole Foods (wellness/nutrition). We are extremely grateful to each of these service providers and look forward to many more years of collaboration with them. As the chairman of the HAAM board, I would like to express my deepest appreciation to my fellow board members. We have one of the strongest boards in this community and are very blessed to have such strong leadership and support. I would also like to extend a special thanks to Liz Watson as she rolls off the board. Liz is a strong advocate for Austin’s musicians and we deeply appreciate her service to HAAM. Finally, thank you to the HAAM staff and the army of HAAMbassadors who work so hard to help raise the funds that support the work we do. I am so proud to be associated with HAAM and look forward to the year ahead. I have no doubt that HAAM will continue to adapt to meet any and all of the challenges that may lay ahead.
