Christopher P. Hogrefe, MD

Clinical Professor of Emergency Medicine

Introduction

I hail from a small, rural town in northwest Iowa; consequently, it logically follows that I revel in returning to that environment to toil on the farm. Additionally, I delight in spending time with my wife, seven year old son Carter, five year old daughter Addyson, and two year old son Caleb. Other activities that infuse pleasure into my life include: baseball (whether it be playing or enjoying our newfound status as Chicago Cubs season ticket holders), basketball, football, and collecting Air Jordan shoes (with one hundred twenty-seven pair currently secured, including one autographed pair).
