From Hippocrates to Today: Greek Physicians to Gather in Chicago on April 14

Greek and Greek-American physicians in Chicago will gather on April 14 for an evening that brings a dispersed professional community into one room.

The event, titled “From Hippocrates to Today,” will take place at 6:00 p.m. at the National Hellenic Museum.

Organized by the Consulate General of Greece in Chicago in cooperation with the museum, the gathering is intended for physicians of Greek origin working across the region.

There is no formal program. The evening is built around conversation, bringing together doctors whose paths rarely intersect despite a shared background and profession.

The reference to Hippocrates is understated but clear. Not as a ceremony, but as a point of continuity still present in everyday practice.

Set in Chicago’s Greektown, the museum provides a natural setting, placing the event between professional life and community identity.

Admission is free, with registration required:
