Laughter Happens, Inc

Laughter Happens is a 501(c)(3) charity organization whose mission is to ease the pain, stress, and trauma of hospitalized children by providing the medicine of laughter through weekly hospital visits. Laughter has physiological effects — it changes body chemistry and brain function. Studies continue to prove that ongoing laughter will ease pain, alleviate anxiety, and improve health and well-being. We augment laughter's natural-healing superpowers with consistent social connections to help pediatric patients reframe potentially traumatic experiences.
