After an assignment in Haiti went publicly sideways in February of 2019, and subsequent news reports were largely innacurate and wildly and laughably speculative, Mr. McKinley now declines all appearances in the Televeision media, no longer providing expertise and relevance on topics relating to Terrorism, Special Operations and the world Military community. Instead , he is focused on his medical practice and his family as well as educating patients and the general public with respect to Psychiatry as well as Hormones and overall Health and Wellness.
Chris is a kinetic and dynamic medical professional as well as a prolific public speaker. He speaks from the heart. When he's not seeing patients, he is engaged in custom wellness events for Fortune 500 Companies, he can also be found speaking passionately to students and community members at Universities and local Libraries.
