"I have seen this group bring out a light in people who are typically quiet and do not speak...I never want to see a time when the Good Medicine Specialists are not at our facility.” – Activities Director, Heartland of Westerville Senior Living
The work is steeped in research in the concept of therapeutic and elder clowning. A recent pilot study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society reported that visits from therapeutic clown performers like the Good Medicine Specialists reduced moderate to severe behavioral symptoms of dementia and were as effective as medication in reducing aggression in those patients.
"During a time of uncertainty and isolation, Good Medicine has provided crucial outside interaction where patients don’t have to think about their medicine, their pain, or other needs, but instead laugh until their bellies hurt."- Activities Director, Heartland of Dublin
"Their virtual visits have been an important part of maintaining good mental health at a time when residents have not been allowed any visitors.” - Activities Assistant
