For almost two decades, the Health Alliance For Austin Musicians (HAAM) has helped fill a crucial gap in our ailing healthcare system. The organization provides affordable healthcare for Austin’s working musicians, who often are self-employed and cannot afford health insurance or doctor’s visits. Musicians deserve access to healthcare just as much as any other profession, and HAAM helps make sure of that.
Reenie Collins, the longtime CEO of HAAM, recently announced her retirement, making way for Paul Scott. Ahead of her retirement party at the Scoot Inn on December 14, we invited Reenie to share some music and memories as our guest DJ this week on My KUTX. Her playlist is full of her Austin favorites, and you can hear Reenie’s My KUTX on Saturday, Decemeber 4 at 6 p.m. or anytime in the player above.
