The New Orleans Musicians Clinic (NOMC) was founded in 1998 to help sustain Louisiana's musicians in mind, body, and spirit by developing access to primary care, preventative health services, and social and occupational outreach. Before Katrina, an estimated 3500 professional musicians were living and performing in New Orleans, and the NOMC had 1,300 musician-patients treated by a volunteer network of more than 300 nurses and doctors within the LSU Medical School.

Practical implications Provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations.
