Who We Are
Mission: To enhance health and well-being through laughter and joy.
Vision: To integrate the art of Medical Clowning into health care.
Role of Room Circus Board: The board is an ACTIVE board. We strive to raise money to bring our professional clowns to the aid of people on need of healing. We also tend to the every day operations of running a non-profit. If you're interested in learning how to run, &/or participating in running, a 501(c) (3) non-profit business, this would be a great hand's on opportunity for you!

What We Do
Room Circus brings joy and laughter to those in need of healing, mentally or physically, with customized improvisational humor, magic, and music. To assure top quality, professional performers are selected for sensitivity and teamwork, and are trained in confidentiality and hospital protocol. Room Circus has been at Children's Hospital since 2013.
Rounds are made at Seattle Children’s Hospital, visiting inpatient rooms and outpatient waiting rooms. Our goal is to expand services to adult hospitals, elder care, those with dementia, and hospice centers.
Medical Clowning has been proven to decrease pain, anxiety, recovery time, and cortisol levels and increase immune function, coping skills, and endorphins.
