Chris Johnston:Office Manager, Billing Manager

Chris Johnston 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 very active schedules and taking care of their two adorable puppies. Camping, boating, tennis and hiking with friends and family are just a few of the many hobbies that Chris enjoys outside of work; not to mention the latest project of personally remodeling their home!  

With over eight years of experience as an office manager, Chris is a great asset to Slater Chiropractic. She joined the team the summer of 2007 and has shown she has a well rounded and diversified sense of how to effectively manage a very 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 as a current or future patient at Slater Chiropractic.

I grew up in the south, Louisiana to be specific. I joined Slater Chiropractic in 2004 and have been working as a chiropractic assistant since then. I enjoy my job and find it rewarding to see people and their health improve. On my off time, I take pleasure in watching NASCAR….go Jeff Gordon! I look forward to meeting and helping new patients every day.

Jimeva Welch: Chiropractic Assistant

 Hi!  I'm Jimeva Welch and I want to welcome you to Slater Chiropractic!

I have been a Chiropractic Assistant since 1993, and started with Dr. Slater in January 1997.  I can truly say that my years spent helping you, the patient, feel better through the natural, non-invasive methods of chiropractic have been personally rewarding.  They have been a lot of fun too!

I grew up in Prineville and have lived in Central Oregon the better part of my life.  Central Oregon offers a great lifestyle to raise a family!  I have been married to Gary (who is a Les Schwab employee) since 1980, and we have two fantastic daughters.  Both are high school math teachers in the Eugene area.

In my free time, I most enjoy spending time with my husband, our daughters and son-in-law, and our friends.  We especially like watching moveis and Oregon Duck football!  Tailgating at the home games is the highlight of our fall!  My family and I love history and we have been fortunate enough to travel to many interesting areas of the United States on our summer vacations.  When we aren't in a historic area, you will likely find us at a theme park, riding the roller coasters!  I also enjoy surfing the internet for what I term "useless information".

I look foward to meeting you in person when you come into our office!
