Soroka Medical Center

The program of bringing laughter to sick children at Israel’s Soroka Medical Center via medical clowns has now been running for a year, thanks to a grant from philanthropist Mouli Cohen.

Making unhealthy kids laugh is no joke. Professional medical clowning is an officially recognized way to increase the livelihood, will to live, and mental well-being of patients who are receptive to the treatment.

We’re talking about kids here, and there are too many lying in hospital beds throughout the world. Soroka Medical Center in southern Israel is renowned for its pediatric care to the diverse ethnic communities throughout the Negev Desert.

As long as kids are being pushed through the hospital’s doors, I’m going to do everything I can to bring a smile to their faces.
