medical clowns

Medical clowns are trained professionals who use humor and playfulness to help reduce anxiety and stress in patients, especially children, in medical settings. They engage patients through magic tricks, storytelling, and interactive play, creating a more relaxed atmosphere during medical procedures or hospital stays. The presence of medical clowns has been shown to improve patient experiences, alleviate fear, and even enhance health outcomes by promoting a positive environment. Their work complements traditional medical care, emphasizing the importance of emotional well-being in the healing process.
