Hippocrates Cafe Productions (HCP) was created by Dr. Jon Hallberg, a professor in the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health at the University of Minnesota Medical School where he is also the creative director of the Center for the Art of Medicine (CFAM).

Jon maintains a busy practice at the M Physicians Mill City Clinic in Minneapolis where he cares for a panel of nearly 1,000 patients, some of whom he’s known for nearly 30 years. Jon’s entire medical career has been built around two complimentary passions: clinical care and the arts. Embodying the art of medicine has been a deeply personal mission for him, and Hippocrates Cafe Productions is a natural extension of this commitment.

Since 2020, Jon has produced four shows with Twin Cities Public Television (TPT PBS) (three of which won regional Emmy Awards), three Motionpoems films and one documentary short, “How to Care” with three more films in various stages of production.
