Health Clinics For Artists Launches at Country Doctor
Categories: Happenings
Finally, a nice piece of local music news to report. Michael Stephens over at the Recording Academy just passed along the good news that the Country Doctor (in conjunction with the Washington Artists Health Insurance Project, Musicares and several other community and national sponsors) is kicking off a year-long series of Artist Health Clinics every Wednesday from 5:30 to 8:30. Qualifying artists don't receive 100% coverage, but the stipend is significant and the range of services included is impressive:
Care for all adult illnesses
Preventative health counseling and routine health exams
Birth control services
STD diagnosis, treatment and counseling
Chronic disease management for diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and HIV
Immunizations
Nutrition counseling
Complimentary medicine including acupuncture and naturopathic services
Behavioral counseling
Common medications at affordable rates
Specialty care on a sliding scale basis
