HAAM Member Story: DJ & Producer Emmanuel Lopez

"I couldn’t be more grateful for HAAM. I haven’t been to a doctor in over 20 years. I have always been afraid to see one because I’ve been afraid to see what they will discover. My family has a history of cancer and diseases related to high blood pressure … My doctor told me if I had waited things could have been critical. I made some serious life choices and I feel better than ever! Thanks to HAAM and the staff at Austin Regional Clinic! I’ve spent sleepless nights worrying if my partner will outlive me. Now I embrace everyday as a blessing. I feel a newly rejuvenated feeling to make music, share music, and live life to the fullest. I feel I have a purpose and a community to support my health."
