The Songwriters of North America has unveiled a new partnership with Amazon Music and Amazon One Medical to bring Amazon One Medical’s benefits to its members, the organization announced on Thursday.
The new partnership will bring one-year Amazon One Medical subscriptions to SONA members, a notable step in the songwriter community’s long-running efforts to bring healthcare to the songwriter class. That’s been a historic issue given that songwriters are, for the most part, freelancers who don’t get workplace benefits such as healthcare.
SONA and Amazon One Medical are offering 300 subscriptions overall, the organization told The Hollywood Reporter, and per SONA, the subscriptions include in-person or remote appointments with a provider and free virtual care among other offerings.
