Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Medical Clown Project will continue to rebuild our programming to bring the joy of theatrical play to audiences who need it most, those isolated in health care settings and their caregivers through performances in assisted living, memory care, and pediatric units.
Organization Summary
We bring our artists to several facilities on multiple days weekly. Each clown service is between 1-4 hours. Over 80% of the populations we serve are elder and memory care units, and/or communities. Other populations include patients and staff from pediatrics, ICU’s, emergency departments, and disaster relief zones. The Medical Clown Project’s annual impact is built from 12,000 direct interactions and interventions reaching patients, residents, family members, medical staff, and disaster victims.
