MusiCares adds Free Health Support for Music Professionals
MusiCares has partnered with women’s and family health virtual health clinic Maven to provide free health support for music professionals and musicians.
Recently the Songwriters of North America announced free healthcare access for members thanks to a grant from Amazon Music. Both are welcome news at a time when cuts in federal subsidies may make health care unaffordable for more musicians.
