Healthy Humor (HH) is a nonprofit arts organization whose professional performers create moments of joy, wonder, laughter and comfort for hospitalized children and all others who are most in need. We hope for a world transformed by humor, joy and the power of human connection – a world less burdened by pain and fear.
Our flagship program, Red Nose Docs, uses the magic of healthcare clowning to help alleviate the stress, fear, sadness and isolation of the hospital environment for young patients and their circle of caregivers. Using an array of circus and theatre skills, our Red Nose Docs create spontaneous, joyful encounters tailored to the needs of each hospitalized child. We help ease the stress of serious illness by reintroducing laughter, play and fun as natural parts of life. Currently, HH is in 12 pediatric hospitals across the country.
HH operates a similar program for the geriatric population known as Vaudeville Visits, as well as a series of professional development workshops known as Connections, which helps professionals in any field to bring their own humanity and a sense of joy and play into their work, thereby improving communication, teamwork, and commitment and preventing burnout.
