Dr. Christine Fortin finds enjoyment providing ambulatory service in a mixed animal practice. Her special interest is in equine lameness, internal medicine, and reproduction. While enjoying all aspects of horse health care, she finds serving the performance horse industry especially rewarding. This includes endurance, harness, and Thoroughbred racing, as well as dressage, working cowhorse, and reining competitors.
Dr. Fortin was born and raised on a cow-calf operation in East Central Iowa. She and her two younger sisters spent many hours in the saddle checking stock cows, treating calves, repairing floodgates, and competing in local equestrian events. She became an Iowa State Cyclone and obtained her Bachelors degree in Animal Science. During veterinary school, Dr. Fortin completed a preceptorship at the Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center in Leesburg, Virginia. After graduating from Iowa State College of Veterinary Medicine in 1989, she practiced at Annabessacook Veterinary Clinic in Monmouth, Maine. In 1990 she married David, and returned to the Midwestern Heartland. Center Hill Veterinary Clinic was founded in the fall of 1991.
Dr. Christine Fortin and her husband David reside on Silent Hollow Farm with their Wirehaired Pointing Griffons, American Quarter horses, and Angus cattle. They have two grown children Chelsea (Bryant) Hagadorn, Bozeman, MT and John Fortin. Ree Heights, SD. They enjoy trail riding, reining and working cowhorse competition, raising Angus cattle, gardening, music, and family time.
