Patch lectures and performs over 200 days of the year. He has travelled  throughout the world delivering his message of peace and love while  challenging the audience to love and care about themselves, their  community, and our planet.  

Every year, Patch leads 9 different missions  to lead clowns into impoverished communities, war zones, refugee camps,  and disaster areas. Patch’s dedication toward clowning has sparked a  movement that has grown to independent clown groups in 120 countries. After he graduated from the Medical College of Virginia in 1971, Patch  began what would become his life-long mission: The Gesundheit Institute.  The pilot project, which ran from 1971 through 1983, saw over 15,000  patients visiting his large 6-bedroom communal home, shared with  friends, fellow doctors, and patients. To support this radical  hospital, friends took outside work to support the love that comes from  helping others. 

As the pilot drawn to a close, Patch realized he needed  to make his dream hospital a reality. No one was going to “give” him a hospital – Patch had to go out into the  world and find the hospital of his dreams. 

After 36 years, Patch  remains energized and ready to take on the medical cure-focused  for-profit industry.   

Imagine: #

• a free hospital that eliminates 90% of the cost of healthcare  

• a hospital that isn’t filled with anxiety about how to treat patients 

• a hospital that allows the doctors to connect with the patients at an  intimate level 

• a hospital that treats the care-givers and care-receivers as friends 

• a hospital that welcomes complementary practices, rather than shuns  them. 

Come, join the fun!
