HUMOR THERAPY PROGRAM

YRMC’s Humor Therapy Program incorporates an element of humor into the quality medical care we provide to patients. All of YRMC’s clowns have special training in how to utilize humor and appropriately bring it into the healing process – and feel privileged to put a smile on the faces of patients and their loved ones.

Medical professionals recognize laughter as having measurable therapeutic benefits. It can reduce stress and anxiety, lower blood pressure, and release endorphins that may lessen pain and boost the immune system.
