Patty Wooten is a woman who knows how to laugh at life. Often called "The Queen of Jest", she is a leading national expert in the field of therapeutic humor. Ms Wooten works with companies that want to put fun back into the workplace.

Her company Jest for the Health of It!, is dedicated to the promotion and development of therapeutic humor. Patty teaches and helps health care professionals, patients, caregivers, educators, and business executives to help them understand how to use humor to improve their working environments -- employee relations, client satisfaction, and stress reduction.

Her wide range of presentations focus on topics from the theoretical (research and scientific studies) to the practical (humor skills and program development). Her knowledge of the power and potential of using humor in the workplace allow her to tailor a program to fit almost any company's needs.

Patty has entertained audiences across the USA and around the world. She is a veteran of countless radio shows and has appeared on such TV shows as NBC's Real Life, The Discovery channel, Thoughtfulness, and Good Morning L.A. Her work has been featured in USA Today, Better Homes and Gardens, Psychology Today, and USA Weekend magazine.

"No one has to make the case for the importance of laughter in this world, but Patty Wooten proves this point in her teaching. She not only believes deeply in the need to take the solemnity out of serious illness, but is able to demonstrate through her skits how this can be done."

Norman Cousins - author of
Anatomy of an Illness

"If this country would embrace Patty's ideas, health care would heal itself"

"Wooten has become a notable figure in hospital lore. Her talks which outline her philosophy, her collection of hospital humor and her strikingly funny stereotypes of nursing including Nancy Nurse, have intrigued and amused over 10,000 health professionals nationwide." (over 100,000 health professionals to date)

"Wooten shares her brand of compassionate humor - while wearing a clown outfit - with hospital patients, cancer survivors, and support groups. She is making practical use of what the research shows: Laughter makes us healthier."
