The Dream Doctors Project is a unique venture integrating medical clowns –"Dream Doctors”- into the hospital healthcare system in Israel by training them to work as part of the multidisciplinary care teams in various medical units carrying out procedures to improve patient wellbeing and advance care. All Dream Doctors have a rich background in the dramatic arts (acting, street theatre, physical clowning, and more) and undergo training to be able to work in hospitals. The Dream Doctors Project was born in 2002 at Hadassah Hebrew University Hospital, Ein Kerem, Jerusalem; other hospitals gradually joined the Project. We are currently working in partnership with 29 hospitals in Israel, with more than 111 official clowning positions, so that each year, approximately 200,000 children and adult patients encounter a Dream Doctor.
