Chris Johnston
Office Manager, Billing Manager
Chris grew up in Southern Oregon and moved to Prineville with her family in 1988. Realizing she had a passion for music, she has been studying, writing and composing for over 25 years now. If not playing her guitar with her family or other musicians and friends, Chris and her husband spend much of their time keeping track of their four children’s highly active lives and enjoying being grandparents to their 7 grandchildren ages 1-10. Chris and her family enjoy the outdoors with much camping, hiking or traveling with close friends and family. These are just a few of the many hobbies Chris enjoys outside of work; if they aren’t outside it’s likely they are remodeling, building or re-furnishing furniture or even adventuring to find barnwood to turn into something beautiful to add to their home!
With over 15 years of experience as an office manager, Chris is a great asset to Slater Chiropractic. She joined the team in the summer of 2007 and has shown she has a well-rounded and diversified sense of how to effectively manage a remarkably busy office. Ranging from the technological aspects of the job to human resources, Chris brings an experienced perspective to her work. Chris was drawn to the compassionate and caring environment at Slater Chiropractic and loves that she can go to work and feel right at home while assisting in giving back to the health of people in the community. She looks forward to working with you and welcomes any questions you may have aa a current or future patient at Slater Chiropractic.
