Healthcare for Culture Workers

A new health care program was founded last year by the Louisiana Cultural Economy Foundation with the support of the the Lt. Governor’s office and LSU Healthcare Network. The Louisiana Cultural Economy Healthcare Initiative functions similarly to the New Orleans Musicians Clinic (now in its 11th year) except that it expands coverage to all cultural workers; cultural worker areas include music, film, design, literary, historic preservation, culinary arts, performing arts, visual arts and crafts.
