Big Apple Circus Clown Care Unit

Clowning aroundThe Big Apple Clown Care Unit is a group of clowns specifically trained by the Big Apple Circus to work in medical settings. Costumed as doctors and nurses, the clowns visit patients in their rooms or unit activity room, and entertain them with humor and play specifically suited to hospitalized children.

The clowns visit selected patient care units and the intensive care unit during the week; ask your child's nurse or child life specialist if your child's unit is on their route.
