JPS Health Network and Hear Fort Worth are promoting medical resources for local music industry workers in Tarrant County.
Joshua Irwin of Fort Worth entertains the crowd on the covered patio with some live music before the movies start at the Coyote Drive-In in Lewisville, Texas, photographed on Saturday, October 29, 2016. Musicians and music industry workers residing in Tarrant County now have the opportunity to receive income-based health care through a new program.
“A lot of people, once they get sick, it really puts a burden on them financially,” Martens said. “If we could get people to take these early steps to make sure they’re taking care of themselves and have some type of routine, we think this can help those dramatic costs they have in the long run.”Sound Care isn’t only for musicians. Other music industry professionals, such as sound and lighting technicians, also qualify.
“The application process is rather easy,” Alvarez said. “The idea that an entry-to-pro-level musician can get medical support in an already competitive and not-so-lucrative career, I believe, is pretty fantastic.”
