The Humour Foundation

LISMORE Clown Doctor UNIT

The Lismore Base Hospital was the first regional hospital in Australia to have Clown Doctors making regular rounds, prescribing laughter to help patients cope.

 

Dr Sniggles is in charge of sneezes and giggles. Often seen scootering around with pockets brimming with balloons, yo-yos and magic. Spends her time looking for girls and boys germs - “You can tell the girls ones - they have teeth!”
She enjoys sculpting elephants and man eating sharks from surgical gloves, loves picking noses and long walks on the beach. Dr Sniggles is a self made Sniggillionaire!
