usicians and other performing art-
ists are expected to sacrifice for their
art, but all too often, the sacrifice they
make is their own health. Performers face unique
challenges that prevent their access to afford-
able health care, nutritious food, restful sleep,
good emotional health, and care of injuries from
day jobs. The New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic was
founded to address these unique healthcare needs
and respond to the challenges musicians face in
their mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
Musicians perform at the 2017 Tropical Blood Drive.
