The performing arts can relieve stress, delivering a gift that lifts the mind of its troubles. But artists who deliver that gift through their talents suffer from occupational hazards few of us stop to consider.

Now both musical and medical resources have been brought together to study, treat, and prevent these often career-threatening disorders through the Texas Center for Music & Medicine, made up of the University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth and the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas.

Performers will receive care in a compassionate, knowledgeable environment for musicians and performing and visual artists. The center includes an education, research, and training facility within the College of Music at UNT as well as a clinical services and referral system within and beyond the UNT Health Science Center in Fort Worth.

Our medical team diagnoses and treats all types of injury and illness, emphasizing preventive medicine. The Texas Center for Music & Medicine is dedicated to meeting the distinctive health care needs of artists- from dancers to vocalists to sculptors to instrumentalists.

The Texas Center for Music & Medicine is funded in part by the UNT Health Science Center at Fort Worth and the University of North Texas/Denton.
