Hospital clowning

Hospital clowning involves trained performers visiting patients in healthcare settings to bring joy, reduce stress, and provide emotional comfort through humor, music, and playful interaction. Their goal is to create a positive environment, distract patients from medical procedures, and support emotional well-being, especially for children and their families. This therapeutic approach complements medical care by fostering feelings of hope and connection. Hospital clowning is a recognized form of medical entertainment, emphasizing empathy and sensitivity to individual needs while promoting a more healing and humane hospital experience.
