Christine Horner, MD FACS

Dr. Horner is a nationally recognized surgeon, author, professional speaker, and a relentless champion for women's health. In the late 90’s Dr. Horner spearheaded a national campaign to pass laws requiring insurance companies to pay for breast reconstruction following mastectomy. Her five-year effort led to laws in thirty-five states and a federal law passed by Congress on October 21, 1998.

She has been featured in many national magazines, newspapers, and television news programs. February 1999, Glamour magazine honored her as their "WOW Woman of the Month". In 2000, Oprah recognized her as a part of her "Angel Network" on her television program. Dr. Horner has received many honors including the YWCA Career Women of Achievement award in 1997 and in 2001, she was voted by her peers as one of Cincinnati’s “Top Doctors.”

Dr. Horner helped to create and then hosted the first ever syndicated television news segment exclusively focused on Complementary and Alternative Medicine and natural approaches to staying healthy. In 2001, the segment was syndicated on the WISDOM Television Network, reaching 5.5 million households.

Her recently released book Waking the Warrior Goddess: Dr. Christine Horner’s Program to Protect Against and Fight Breast Cancer presents a simple 30-step program to help women incorporate healthy lifestyle changes to protect against and fight breast cancer naturally. Dr. Horner resides in Taos, New Mexico.
