Hear Fort Worth & JPS Team Up to Help Local Musicians

In response to requests from the local music community for healthcare options, JPS Health Network is partnering with the Hear Fort Worth music association to promote its medical resources. The program was unveiled at a special event on April 2.

The promotion program, called Sound Care, was established to help musicians who may not know how to qualify for reduced-cost care with JPS Health Network. As Fort Worth artists work to establish themselves in the music industry, this program offers musicians and their families options for accessing preventative care and treatment. Sound Care connects musicians with the same services provided to all eligible Tarrant residents.

“This is a great option for musicians who might not have a steady stream of income or benefits while working to grow their music careers,” said Tom Martens, director of Hear Fort Worth, a division of the Visit Fort Worth tourism office. “We want to keep local musicians and their families healthy and happy so they can continue to showcase their talent in the Fort Worth music scene and beyond.”

Patients who qualify for care, based on income and expenses, will have access to preventative care such as physicals and screenings, as well as a dedicated care team for their families, which includes a physician or nurse practitioners.

“JPS has been a cornerstone of the Tarrant County community for over 100 years,” said Dr. Karen Duncan, President and CEO of JPS Health Network. “Our teams are always ready to provide exceptional care to anyone who walks through our doors. We are excited to partner with Hear Fort Worth to extend healthcare services to our talented community of musicians. This partnership will allow us to fulfill our mission of improving access to care and ensuring the health and well-being of the communities we serve.”
