Chris Johnson, MD      

Physician, Expert Speaker on the Opioid Crisis, Founder of End the Opioid Crisis, Public Health Advocate & Author

Dr. Chris Johnson is a nationally recognized expert on the opioid and heroin epidemic which currently claims over 25,000 American lives per year. He has spoken throughout the country on this topic to medical and non-medical audiences alike, and brings an urgent message on the need to reform a medical industry that has prioritized business interests over patient safety.

His presentation style engages the listener, whether that person is a medical professional involved in direct patient care, a policy maker exploring ways to improve the health of his or her constituents, or a family member who has been personally affected by loss due to this tragedy.

He has spoken before FDA Advisory Committees, hospital staffs, legal task forces, workers' compensation professionals, law enforcement organizations and patient advocacy groups – everyone with a stake in ending this crisis. His effectiveness at reaching his audience is reflected in the many repeat invitations he receives from these organizations to participate in future events.
