It is common to see a new face at Heppner Chiropractic from time to time.  This year our team has grown from 2 to 7!  In addition to new hires, you may meet a number of students helping out in our office periodically.  Our office has been blessed to create partnerships with both Valley Medical College (now Institute of Technology) here in Salem and Pioneer Pacific College in Wilsonville through their externship programs.  As a part of the training to become a Medical Assistant, a Medical Administrative Assistant, or Medical Receptionist an Externship Experience is required.  This is a great opportunity for students to practice their new skills before completeing their schooling and entering the workforce while helping local businesses with a set of extra hands to help serve the community's medical needs.  I would like to thank the externs we've had in the past few years, without whom we would not be where we are today.  Listed in order of "appearance": James Kirkwood, MA (Pioneer), Kristy Alvarez, MA (Pioneer), Aubrey MacDonald, MA (Valley - now full time with us), Marlena Hance, MAA (Valley), Whitney Bonebrake, MA (Valley).  Thank you for your service!
