In the Senior Circle Room at the Watsonville Community Hospital. 

For thousands of years, folk wisdom has proclaimed that "A Merry Heart Does Good Like a Medicine".

Now, scientific research is measuring exactly how this occurs.

An ability to maintain a sense of humor during difficult times offers a detached perspective that can reduce stress.

When we allow ourselves to laugh, tension is released and replaced by a sense of well being and hopefulness.

Come learn, laugh and lighten up as you experience the healing powers of humor and laughter.
