At the end of November, our Giggle Doctors and the children at the Central Swiss Children’s Hospital were treated to some very special company: Paralympic athlete Catherine Debrunner visited the children’s wards together with four Theodora artists. The wheelchair athlete enjoyed an afternoon full of laughter, music, soap bubbles – and even an unforgettable sporting performance.

During a special workshop at Aarau Cantonal Hospital, the Giggle Doctors swapped their colorful coats for a different role — that of young patients in the pediatric emergency unit. This immersive experience allowed them to deepen their understanding of medical care and strengthen their collaboration with healthcare teams.
