HAAM Musician Spotlight: AJ Vallejo & Douglass Day

Описание: If the past year taught us anything it’s that life is unpredictable…..and precious. Two HAAM musicians understand this truth better than most. Both AJ Vallejo and Doug Day suffered life-threatening heart attacks before their 40th birthday.

AJ Vallejo, vocalist and lead guitarist for the iconic rock band Vallejo, experienced warning signs like dizziness and arm pain in the weeks before his heart attack in 2009. Knowing that he had HAAM health coverage gave AJ the peace of mind to go get his symptoms checked out. He saw a doctor who referred him to Seton hospital for a stress test. AJ had a heart attack right there on the treadmill.

Doug Day is a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, currently playing drums with Ruby Dice and Jonathan Terrell. In his 20 years in Austin, he has also played with Austin legends like the Eric Tessmer Band and Crooks. Three years ago, Doug, was hiking in Arches National Park when his legs collapsed under him. During his long road to recovery, HAAM navigators not only helped set Day up with a local primary care physician and cardiologist, they referred him to an expert at Foundation Communities who helped him navigate his medical bills.
