Würzburg, December 10, 2023 – Today, B2B Interactive had the special opportunity to thank the clinic clowns from Lachtränen e.V. for their work and present them with a donation of €1,000. The B2B Interactive team visited the clinic clowns at the Missio Children’s Hospital in Würzburg to thank the dedicated clowns in person.
“B2B Interactive is impressed by the commitment and dedication with which the clinic clowns visit sick children, people with disabilities, and elderly people every day to bring a smile to their faces. It is amazing how much joy and lightheartedness the clowns can bring in difficult times.”
The clinic clowns from Lachtränen e.V. follow the example of Patch Adams, the forefather of clinic clowns, and are specially trained artists, therapists, and educators. They have the ability to give people in difficult situations a break full of fun and joy. With each visit, a new game, a new situation, and perhaps even a moment of happiness is created!
The donation from B2B Interactive will help the clinic clowns continue their important work and support even more people in difficult situations. B2B Interactive would like to thank all the clowns for their important work, because as we all know, laughter is the best medicine.
Patch Adams, the forefather of hospital clowns
Patch Adams, an American physician and clown, recognized the therapeutic value of laughter early on. He founded “Health Care with Laughter,” a health center that focused on the emotional and social well-being of patients. Here, patients not only received medical treatment, but also experienced the healing power of laughter.
Adams and his team of hospital clowns have shown that laughter can reduce stress, lift spirits, and even relieve pain. They visit hospitals, nursing homes, and other facilities to bring smiles to people’s faces, no matter how difficult their situation may be.
The message of Patch Adams is clear: humor and compassion are essential components of healing. His legacy lives on in the work of hospital clowns around the world, such as https://klinikclowns.lachtraenen.de.
