Is laughter the best medicine? These clowns say yes
Medical clowns are trained professional performers who work in tandem with staff at hospitals. They aim to prove that laughter is the best medicine, as they continue to become more common at medical facilities across the world. In Georgia, at Piedmont Columbus Regional Hospital, clowns employed by Laughter League spread joy each week to young patients.
