HAAM is a vital resource, especially in a city full of musicians. It’s keeping the heartbeat of Austin alive by keeping musicians in good health.”

“As I was recovering at the hospital from a health emergency last year, my ability to work and play gigs suffered. I’m glad that I can now focus on my DJ career now that I’m healthy again. HAAM helped me a lot with my medical bills as I was recovering I was really close to dying, and I have immense gratitude for HAAM helping me.”
