NEW Book: Injecting Healing Humor in the Healthcare Setting: Entertaining Effectively in the Healthcare Venue

A new book just published by FRMC Charlie's Chaplains' former coordinator Becky Cortino!






“I’ve written this book to encourage those in the trenches, wanting to dispense generous doses of Healing Humor through performance in the healthcare venue,” Becky said.

The third book in the AHeart4Clowning series, formatting of this guide is slightly different from the others. While topically-presented, versus traditional chapters, Becky describes it as “written like a conversation, inviting the reader’s participation. It is not intended to be an exhaustive resource of entertaining bits, but rather savvy solutions and ideas for active Healing Humor performers in healthcare wanting to be more effective.”

Written from the grassroots perspective of a volunteer and coordinator of what is believed to be one of the oldest all-volunteer hospital clown/family entertainer groups, this guide is based on Becky’s hands-on experience as a Hospital Clown and Applied Humor Therapist beginning in 1997. It is the second book in the “Injecting Healing Humor in the Healthcare Setting” series.

This book includes material Becky has written and presented in 10 consecutive training programs since 2004, training 245 hospital clowns and healthcare family entertainers (at this writing) in service at other healthcare facilities as well as her own group, those performing in other states, regions and countries.

 Included in this inspiring guide are:
  • Pointers and Tips for Entertaining in the Healthcare Setting
  • Inspirations and Ideas for Putting Your Best Foot Forward
  • Actionable Steps to be an Effective Healthcare Family Entertainer
  • Journaling and List-keeping Section
  • Special Reader BONUS Gifts ($45 Value)
