The Medical Clown Project provides therapeutic medical clowning as an integrated component of care for adult and pediatric patients and their families.
Medical Clown Project delivers therapeutic programming, creating lighthearted spaces, to spark joy for patients of all populations. Using theatrical play, music, and specialized clowning techniques, our professional healthcare clowns fully embrace the human behind the healing body, to enliven the individual beyond the shadow of illness.
Our medical team and staff were extremely positive about the impact of the work of the medical clowns. They were amazed and delighted to report that some residents who had been isolated and non communicative were ‘lighting up and talking’ for the first time in months.
I love my job. All I do is bring the clowns into a patient’s room and watch the magic and laughter unfold. From the hilarious… to the tender moments of ‘wishes come true.
