clown care

Clown care is a specialized approach that uses humor, clowning, and playful interactions to support the emotional well-being of patients, especially children, in healthcare settings. Trained healthcare professionals or performers, known as medical clowns, create a friendly and comforting presence, helping reduce anxiety, distract from pain, and foster a positive environment. By engaging patients with laughter and play, clown care can improve mood, promote healing, and ease hospital experiences without minimizing the seriousness of medical care.
