“I’m excited to join the SHF board,” Dr. Dixon said. “Over the last several years, I’ve had the opportunity to interact with different aspects of the Foundation and I’ve been impressed by the values that drive the organization. Throughout the organization I have witnessed a passion for the mission, compassion for the people of the region and responsible stewardship of assets. I look forward to upholding these values and being a part of the team.”

In welcoming Dr. Dixon, the Superior Health Foundation offers a goodbye to Dr. Mike Coyne. Dr. Coyne stepped down from the board following nearly 12 years of service.
