Mid-Columbia Medical Center’s new President and Chief Executive Officer is getting settled in to the job.  Dennis Knox has now been on the job for six weeks.  Knox says in many of his previous jobs he has been brought in as a change agent, and he believes he has a similar role here.  Appearing on Bicoastal Media’s Mid-Columbia Today program Thursday morning, he noted hospitals throughout the country are facing challenges.  Knox also talked about cultural transformation, getting all stakeholders on board from employees to the community, noting that requires being honest, transparent, and making contact with the public.
