Clown Doctors Help Heal with Humor
I
have a deep admiration for the “labor of fun” the Big Apple Circus
bring to healthcare facilities, children's groups, and communities
across the nation.
Clown
Care, the signature community outreach program of the Big Apple
Circus, brings the joy of classical circus to hospitalized children
at 16 leading pediatric facilities across the United States.
THE
HEALING POWER OF HUMOR
Circus
Co-Founder Michael Christensen created the program in 1986 based on
his desire to provide a unique service to youngsters undergoing
treatment in pediatric facilities. In partnership with a
participating hospital's chief medical and administrative staff,
members of the Clown Care team conduct 'clown rounds,' their own
version of medical rounds, where the healing power of humor is always
the prescription.
PERFORMERS
COLLABORATE WITH DOCTORS TO FIT THE NEEDS OF EACH HOSPITAL
Currently,
80 committed and talented professional artists conduct clown rounds
one to five days a week, year-round, making nearly 225,000 visits to
young patients every year. Clown doctors are trained in specific
hygienic practices and protocols and in special issues related to
interacting with hospitalized children. Performers collaborate with
doctors and staff to design a program that fits the needs of each
hospital. They visit children in both inpatient and outpatient units,
including intensive care, emergency room, physical therapy, bone
marrow transplant, pediatric AIDS, and
hematology/oncology.
"Ministering to sick children goes beyond medication and technology. When a child begins to laugh it means he's probably beginning to feel better. I see the clowns as healers." - Dr. John M. Driscoll Jr., former Chairman of the Pediatrics Department at Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in New York City
