Songwriters of North America is Providing Health Benefits to Members
The organization rolled out the plans are part of its 10th anniversary
Songwriters of North America (SONA), the collective organization that defends rights for working songwriters, has announced it will provide healthcare to members. The benefits are a result of SONA’s new partnership with Amazon Music and Amazon One Medical, Amazon’s primary care and telehealth service.
The benefits:
With this partnership in place, SONA members will receive a one-year subscription to Amazon One Medical.
Amazon Music and SONA will also offer grants for out-of-pocket medical expenses.
SONA members can apply for those grants here.
What they said:
SONA CEO Michelle Lewis: “From the start, SONA has been committed to addressing the systemic gaps that leave Songwriters without access to basic healthcare. This work with Amazon Music and Amazon One Medical represents a meaningful step forward in that mission. We deeply appreciate their support and shared commitment to long-term solutions that prioritize the health and dignity of music creators.
Tom Winkler, Head of Publisher, Songwriter, and Society Relations for Amazon Music: “Songwriters are the heartbeat of the music industry. They shape the soundtrack of our lives and give voice to culture, yet too many lack access to affordable healthcare. In collaboration with Amazon One Medical and Songwriters of North America, we are committed to changing that.”
