Dr. Jesse Knight

Dr. Knight earned her undergraduate degree in interdisciplinary studies at The Evergreen State College in 2004 and her MD from the University of Washington School of Medicine in 2004. She is a Clinical Associate Professor in Emergency and Interventional Radiology at the University of Washington.

Dr. Knight said “My motivation to serve on the Board is to give back to this amazing community. I am so honored to be chosen for this position. I want our hospital system to continue being a tremendous resource for our town and I look forward to working together to make our healthcare system stronger and more resilient for the future.”

Dr. Knight said she knows she offers a unique perspective on the board: “I believe what I offer as a physician gives me insight into some of the challenges care providers are facing, and the importance of recruiting and retaining excellent providers.”

When Dr. Knight says she appreciates the kind of care Cascade Medical provides, it’s a view backed by experience: “We are so lucky to have a high-quality public hospital close to home. After working at a regional trauma center, I have seen the difference rapid critical life-saving care can make for patient outcomes. I really appreciate Cascade Medical’s patient-centered approach.”

Dr. Knight lives in Leavenworth with her husband Ted and children, and in her free time enjoys gardening, skiing, drawing and painting.
