When you decided to go into health care as a profession, your decision may have grown out of a passion for service. Or perhaps you had a gusto for taking on challenges, a fascination with health science, a wish to do work that you love. Perhaps you had a memorable experience of care and a wish to give back. But now, having gone into the healthcare profession, you may find that your passion, gusto, fascination, wish and love are hard to sustain in the face of work loads, policies & systems. Is there anything that can be done about this? We the artists and clown-doctors of the Gesundheit! Institute and the School for Designing a Society have been practising and promoting creativity in healthcare problem-solving for 50 years. We are offering a new, six-week series of brief workshops—creative “microdosing”—designed to refresh professionals’ passion for in a fun, low-commitment yet heartfelt way.
Purpose: To provide attendees with a caring toolkit of techniques to help them love themselves and others in a sustainable manner.

Dr Patch Adams: I’m a 77-year old clown who is also a physician. In medical school (1967-71) I realized that the way medicine was practiced was wrong. So, I designed a hospital addressing some of the major problems in our health care delivery. This hospital would charge no money, carry no malpractice, and accept no medical insurance. A medical practitioner could spend as much time as he or she would want with a patient and be open to all kinds of healing. At 18, I decided to be 6 qualities: happy, funny, loving, cooperative, creative, and thoughtful. These 6 qualities allow me to be an instrument for peace, justice, and care for all people and nature. This is why I am a clown. Flame On!
Dr Susan Parenti: I’m a composer, performer, activist at School for Designing a Society; Gesundheit Institute. Trained as a composer of music, and yet(‘and so’? ‘however’? ‘but’? I write plays and ‘shake-up social actions’ (hear the sound!) But that’s ok because I live in a town where we say that a composer is a person who makes something happen which would not happen without her.
Dr Mark Enslin: Was born in 1955 in St. Louis, Missouri, and studied music composition at Webster University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His doctoral thesis is “Teaching Composition Facing the Power of the Respondent.” He is a co-founder of the Performers’ Workshop Ensemble and the School for Designing a Society, and currently teaches social issues theater at the University of Illinois.
