Mr. Knight oversees all financial operations for Jackson Health System, one of the nation’s largest and most complex public health systems. He is responsible for overall financial strategy, long-range planning, budgeting, financial reporting, treasury functions, capital deployment and revenue cycle performance across hospitals, outpatient centers, specialty institutes and service lines. When Mr. Knight joined the system in 2010, the organization had lost nearly $430 million between mid-2006 and mid-2011, and under his leadership the system reversed that trajectory and has achieved multimillion-dollar surpluses every year since 2012. This has been achieved while improving clinical outcomes, increasing patient volume and enhancing customer service. He played an instrumental role in the “Jackson Miracle-Building Bond Program,” an $830 million capital initiative that has funded new hospitals, renovated facilities and expanded specialty services. That work earned him the South Florida Business Journal “CFO Award for Turnaround Achievement” in 2014. Mr. Knight has also strengthened revenue cycle performance, optimized operational efficiency and guided major investments in technology, infrastructure and service line growth.
