Christen Jones, DO, is a Family Medicine provider at Altru Health System. She was born and raised in Laurel, Mississippi, which may sound familiar to those who watch the HGTV show, Home Town. She is the first physician in her family and the first to complete a four-year college degree. She completed medical school at William Carey University in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. After experiencing both extremes of climate, she has found that she much prefers the North Dakota winters. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, watching movies, playing video games, and spending time with her husband and their two dogs.
Philosophy of Medicine
"My decision to practice medicine came from experiences I had as a child with my grandmother's battle with cancer. I try to approach patients as if they were my family member; I think that it helps patients feel more at ease. I am a big proponent of shared decision-making so that my patients and I can make a plan of care together."
