Medical Clowning
Medical clowning is a therapeutic practice where trained clowns visit hospitals and healthcare facilities to entertain and uplift patients. These clowns use humor, magic, and playful interactions to create a positive atmosphere, helping to reduce anxiety and stress for both patients and their families.
The goal of medical clowning is to enhance the healing process by promoting emotional well-being. Research has shown that laughter and joy can improve patient outcomes, making medical clowning a valuable addition to traditional medical care. Clowns often work alongside healthcare professionals to support patients during treatments and procedures.
