Humor Therapy
Caring Clowns/Hospital Clowns
What is the benefit of Humor Therapy? Emotions effect the immune system in many positive ways. Laughing is
aerobic! One day while clowning around Daizy Dee was told by a patient..."Thank you for making me laugh. It
made me forget my pain."-Adult Day Care Facility in the QCA
What does a caring/hospital clown do? They make their rounds giving each patient one on one attention.
Each clown is trained to work in the health field and works closely with the hospital or nursing home staff.
What degree do caring/hospital clowns have? You may choose your caring clown. Most of our caring clowns
have CNA to RN degrees which is important for understanding the rules and guidelines of the facilities. We feel it is
also important to understand each patients conditions and being sensitive to those conditions when it comes to
clown humor.
What are the fees? It depends on what you are looking for. Our clowns range in fees. It depends on what the
facility expectations are. Does the facility want to purchase props,costumes,supplies,and provide a liability
insurance or would they rather we take care of those needs. Each performance price varies depending on what is
expected from the performer.
Balloons and Hospitals-Hospitals typically do not allow latex balloons to be twisted in their facilities due to latex
allergies. We have however been to many nursing homes with balloons.
Sponsor a clown....We are looking for sponsorship to fund caring clowns and other charity events that we serve.
Please feel free to browse our site to see what the needs are in your community. Your business would receive
recognition for your generous gift of joy and it is tax deductible.
