AHIRC: The Health Insurance Resource Directory



Columbus Stage Managers Health Directory

There is a long tradition among Broadway theatres of maintaining a select list of doctors who can be called when cast members, crew and staff need medical care. The Actors Fund, working with Broadway Stage Managers and Actors Equity Association has created a directory of primary care doctors, specialists and other health care providers that can be used by theatres and other performance venues. The practitioners included were recommended by theaters, stage managers, actors and others in the entertainment industry.

To suggest a facility, doctor or other practitioner, please contact Elizabeth Tripp.

NOTE: The Actors Fund has not independently verified the accuracy of the information or the qualifications of the listed providers. Each user of the directory must satisfy himself or herself of the qualifications of the health care provider selected. Each health care provider is solely responsible for medical judgments and related treatments. The Actors Fund is not liable for any act or omission, including negligence, committed by a healthcare provider listed in this Directory.
The listings set forth herein are for informational purposes only and no warranty is made that the information is error free.
