The Therapeutic Clown Program
at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario
Ruth Cull is the Therapeutic Clown at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa since 2001. Two days a week, she worked as a Registered Practical Nurse in the Operating Room for the last 35 years and as clown 3 days/week since 2001.
She been to some wonderful conferences and met great people over the years. She has trained with Susie Kleinwatcher, Cheryl Oberg, and Leon McBride and has presented at numerous conferences and education settings to raise awareness of this work. She has appeared in various media and offers clown workshops for children during their hospital stay.
The rewards are not only the smiles but also the privilege of being part of the lives of family and kids who display extraordinary courage and inspiration. Throughout my journey I have come to learn that "It is not a matter of being funny, but rather of having fun."
