"One of the reasons the position at Southwest Healthcare System appealed to me was that the Valleys are growing so quickly," Mr. Knox says. "Southwest has several construction projects in progress now, with the ability to provide services not before offered to the area. I look forward to this opportunity and becoming an active member of the Southwest Riverside County community."
Mr. Knox holds a Master's in Healthcare Administration and a Bachelor of Arts in Management Science from Duke University. He has three sons and a daughter. His wife, Jody, is a chief operating officer in the healthcare industry.
An avid golfer, Mr. Knox enjoyed recently chairing the 11th

CrossCreek Golf Club in Temecula. He also is looking forward to
playing the many other courses in the Temecula Valley.
