"As a working musician on a low income, there is no way that I could afford medical and dental insurance. The universal need for medical attention is one more barrier musicians must overcome, and thankfully in Austin, HAAM helps us do just that. This year I discovered I had the first cavity of my life. The St. David's Foundation Dental Program did an amazing job filling my cavity, and their staff members are some of the sweetest people on Earth. Thank you for keeping the music alive and healthy!" - Philip Gibbs Photo by Marc Swedner |
