Attention Freelance/Gig Workers! Visit Dallas Partners with Arete Health Shield, Launches Creative Care Dallas

Written by Visit Dallas

Our friends at the Dallas Music Office, a division of Visit Dallas, have announced a partnership with Arete Health Shield to launch Creatives Care Dallas. This is a first-of-its-kind program designed to make preventive health care and mental wellness resources affordable and accessible for Dallas County’s creative community.

Creatives Care Dallas was built to support gig-based artists, musicians, filmmakers, freelancers and others whose careers often fall outside traditional employer insurance models. For $65 per month, the initiative provides access to comprehensive virtual primary care, 24/7 urgent telemedicine, behavioral health services and $0 co-pay prescriptions for the top 2,000 medications. Membership in Creatives Care Dallas is open to any creative professional who lives in Dallas County and receives 1099, contract or project-based income. Participants can enroll whether or not they currently have health insurance coverage.
