"To brighten up the hospital wards, the Hospital Clowns from Rêves De Clown visit children in hospital. They also visit adults and the elderly in oncology, haematology and palliative care wards, with tact and humanity. Specially trained in hospital practices and organisation, the Hospital Clowns go beyond their role as entertainers to become true partners with the nursing staff. Humour and fantasy must be present within the hospital to help children cope better with their hospitalisation, far from their family home".
