Healthy Humor, Inc.

Healthy Humor brings joy, wonder, laughter and comfort to hospitalized children and all others who need it the most. Children in pediatric hospitals often feel fear, anxiety, sadness and isolation. Our flagship program, Red Nose Docs, offers the magic of healthcare clowns to alleviate the stress of that experience for young patients and their circle of caregivers. Using an array of circus and theater skills, our professional, specially-trained performers work in teams of two to create spontaneous, joyful encounters, reintroducing play and fun as natural parts of life. Healthy Humor is a national, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization (pending). HH’s founders have more than 50 years of combined experience in healthcare clowning. We work in hospitals across the country and are growing every day. Join us!
