Laughter is the Best Medicine

And children in hospitals don't get enough of it -- or they didn't until Giggles Children's Theater came along. Started in 2005 at St. Joseph's Children's Hospital in Paterson, NJ, Giggles now also broadcasts its shows to children in hospitals throughout the Medical Missions for Children telemedicine and teaching network.

Children at St. Joseph's see live musicians, clowns, storytellers and puppet shows at Giggles. But they aren't limited to the confines of the theater. Using videoconferencing equipment donated by Polycom, Giggles brings children on interactive field trips all over the world to swim with sharks, visit zoos and museums and explore rainforests.

You can see video clips here with highlights from some of Giggles' shows.
