Aaron Johnson ARNP-FNP is the Medical Director of the Center of Functional Health @ThePC. He completed his BSN through the Spokane campus of WSU and practiced as a nurse in the Emergency Department in Spokane and in Portland while he finished his Master’s degree. He received his MSN degree through Oregon Health and Science University on Portland and graduated with his ARNP license in Family medicine. 

​

Aaron grew up in the Columbia Basin in Moses Lake Washington, and returned to the area to practice as an ARNP at the Kadlec Emergency Department for 10 years. He began working part-time in Family Practice through the Prosser Memorial Health System in 2009 while also working with a Cosmetic specialty practice perfecting his skills in performing Botox injections, Dermal Filler injections, and facial rejuvenation techniques. 

​He has continued ongoing education to specialize in Bio-Identical Hormone therapies, Platelet Rich Plasma injections, and advanced facial injection techniques. Aaron is also a federally certified Medical Examiner to be able to offer services for DOT exams.

Aaron and his wife Amber have 5 children. They spend many of their weekends attending multiple sporting events in support of their kids. Aaron enjoys learning archery with his oldest son, hunting and camping in the great Northwest, and golfing… (if you can call it that, lessons are helping!)

Aaron’s philosophy in medicine is that you are a partner in your health. Through attentive listening and teamwork with the patient, together we can achieve your optimal health. 

Mitchell grew up in Shoreline, Washington and attended Washington State University where he obtained his Bachelor of Science in Medical Science and his Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Go Cougs!).

He went on to work for seven years as a Registered Nurse at the University of Washington Medical Center where he gained valuable experience caring for acute and complex patients. From that experience, he was motivated to take on a role that would allow him to help guide patients to pursue lifestyle choices that mitigate chronic disease while promoting longevity and vitality.

After obtaining his doctorate at the University of Washington he became a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner. He then joined a busy practice where in collaboration with naturopathic physicians, he provides primary and preventative wellness care using a blend of conventional, functional, and integrative medicine principles.

He strives to help patients meet their health goals and works within each patient’s unique lifestyles and needs. He enjoys teaching patients about diseases, labs, and treatment options, and hopes that every patient leaves their visit feeling confident and well informed. He has received post-doctoral training from the following institutions:

• American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine

• The Forum for Integrative Medicine

• American Academy of Procedural Medicine.

• Joint Injection and Trigger Point Therapy

• Stanford University – Exercise Physiology

He is looking forward to moving to the Tri Cities this fall with his wife Catie (a Kamiakin high school graduate), to begin his next chapter at Pacific Clinic. Together they enjoy watching the Mariners and Cougs, spending time with family, live music, and getting outside whenever they can.
