Why Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities Need a Humor Program

The health benefits of applied humor therapy have long been recognized, supported by scientific studies and the medical community. Based on a growing understanding of the associated health benefits, humor programs, hospital clowns, caring clowns and healthcare family entertainers are becoming more mainstream, although they are still not widely-available at a majority of facilities.

Benefits of a healthcare humor program are far-reaching, even beyond the obvious health effects and spirit-lifting offered to patients, visitors and staff. An effectively-executed healthcare humor program can easily cost next to nothing, with returns far greater than a (non-existent) generous budget, with far-reaching, long-lasting effects that no money can buy.
