Rachel Blair, Chief Strategy Officer, and Stephanie Bergara, board member and leader of local Selena tribute Bidi Bidi Banda, both serve at the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians (HAAM).

In this episode, we explore Stephanie and Rachel’s paths to the organization, dive into HAAM’s mission, and break down who they serve, how to access care, and the full range of services they offer. We also highlight how HAAM supports general healthcare navigation within the program, ways to get involved, and real success stories from HAAM’s 20 years of supporting the Austin music community.

To my musician friends, HAAM’s 2026 open enrollment wraps up December 15th! If you’ve ever wondered how HAAM can support you, now’s the perfect time to find out.
