Hospital clown
Being a hospital clown requires great humility and emotion and is a complement to medical care.
Being in hospital is a great strain on the whole family. The hospital clowns interact with the aim of making children's stay in hospital easier. The activities with clowns at Sunderby Hospital and Lappland Children's Clinic are run by Lule Stassteater. The hospital clowns act on behalf of the Norrbotten Region and Curo.
