Hippocrates Cafe at the Minnesota State Fair

Hippocrates Cafe combines performing arts and medicine. It is a live show that uses professional actors and musicians to explore healthcare topics through story and song. Performances are designed to educate, entertain, and heal. Each show uses a combination of poetry, short stories, essays, letters, historical documents, and music. Pieces are carefully picked to illuminate the chosen topic in a way that is thoughtful, respectful, and creative.  Hippocrates Cafe creator and host Jon Hallberg, MD, introduces show topics and provides narration throughout, giving context for all pieces.
