Jennifer Fielder, a breast cancer survivor, started AhLAFska to aid fellow employees at the hospital, although most who attend this haven of hilarity hail from the wider community. “Cancer support groups are excellent for some people, but I found them to be kind of a downer,” she said. “This is a positive way to let emotions out, and a great stress reducer.” This laughter club is now in its 4th year and going strong.

Jan Koel participates in the laughter club at Alaska Regional Medical Center. The group mimics different kinds of laughter as part of the exercise to induce genuine laughter in each other.
