“ HAH: HUM?R AS HEALER” © – Dr. William Klinger, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. This presentation is designed to help individuals utilize the healing power of positive humor more effectively in their lives. HAH had its birth in the early 90s’ when Doctor Willie K. was desperately searching for the panacea to all life’s problems. Recognizing that without a sense of humor he would have never survived all the little surprises life had to offer, he became reacquainted with the most vital of all human senses – “The Sense of Humor”. Although based on scientific principles this presentation promises to be more comic than didactic. Come join in the laughter and learning and add life to your years through humor.
