What is Rx Laughter?

Mission Statement:
Rx Laughter researches and develops projects that include positive entertainment to help children, adults, and their family members through the ordeal of medical treatments.

A bit more:
While laughter is part of our work, we are increasingly focused on the potential health benefits of humor, enjoyment and joy.

Our end goal is to "prescribe" entertainment in the most helpful way possible for patients and families in distress.

Specifically, much of our work is in the development and oversight of projects that use funny films and television programs in cancer support groups, wellness clinics, pain management centers and medical research institutes.

We develop these projects in collaboration with renowned institutes, using research as our starting point for each project. We collaborate very closely with clinical staffs to achieve the best results, working sensitively and compassionately within the context of traditional medical care.

The results are then used to implement therapeutic and educational programs based upon the results of our research.
