Since its founding in 1998, the New Orleans Musicians' Clinic (NOMC) has been an innovative not-for-profit occupational medicine and wellness partnership offering affordable, comprehensive health care to our community's most precious resource: our musicians. The NOMC is a program of the New Orleans Musicians Assistance Foundation (NOMAF). Collaborative health partners are LSU Healthcare Network, Daughters of Charity Services of New Orleans, and St. Anna's Mission to Musicians and Medical Mission.

Dedicated on May 2, 1998, NOMC became the first such health initiative in the United States, addressing the health care needs of musicians and their families. Not only do we strive to affect an agenda of wellness in our musician patient population, we encourage our musicians to become advocates for early detection, prevention, and treatment for others facing the same risks.

The mission of the New Orleans Musicians Assistance Foundation is to keep music alive by sustaining New Orleans musicians and tradition bearers in body, mind and spirit. We do this through providing access to health and social services through the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic, regardless of musicians’ ability to pay, and by fostering cultural opportunities that advocate for and support this effort.

Danny and Blue Lu Barker
Danny ( 1909-1994) and Blue Lu Barker (1913 – 1998) were legends of jazz who instilled their passion for the art form with the younger generation. The gold record on the wall was presented to them by Maria Muldaur for her hit recording of their song, "Don't You Feel My Leg."
