New Orleans Musicians' Clinic & Assistance Foundation
John Dunlop
The New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic has provided medical care to musicians and performing artists in New Orleans for more than 21 years. They offer occupational and comprehensive health services for musicians, performers, cultural workers and tradition bearers of New Orleans (Mardi Gras Indians, Social Aid & Pleasure Club Members). They serve any patient over the age of 19 and their family, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. Their mission is to keep New Orleans music ALIVE by sustaining members of New Orleans’ traditional music cultures. They do this by providing cost-efficient access to comprehensive and preventive health care, wellness education, mental health services and social services.
The Musicians’ Clinic is funded through donations and grants to the New Orleans Musicians’ Assistance Foundation. Due to the fact that most of the NOMC’s funding comes from individual contributors, we have the freedom to focus on what matters most – providing quality care to the performers who keep New Orleans’ culture ALIVE, regardless of their financial situation. NOMAF is the 501(c)3 non-profit organization which supports and expands the mission of the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic. Click here for more information.
