by Ben Hoxworth Death, Obituary – We are sorry to inform you at this time that Dr. Ben Hoxworth, a founding member of CCS, passed away earlier today. His passing is something we regret having to inform you about at this time. This information is being conveyed to you with a deep sense of regret on our part. You are receiving this information at this time as a courtesy, and it has been supplied to you. It is with a heavy heart that I have to break the news to you that this will be the course that we will continue to take as we move forward in time. Dr. Hoxworth had been providing devoted service to the community for more than three decades when he decided to hang it up and retire a few years ago.
In the course of several decades, he was successful in gaining the admiration and appreciation of his patients. During that time period, he was of considerable assistance to a huge number of people living inside the neighborhood. Dr. Matt Tsuei, who is currently serving as the president of the organization, was kind enough to provide the clinic with the feedback and ideas that are detailed in the following paragraphs. “Ben exemplified the kind of person and physician that we should all try to be like, and there is a great lot that each of us can take away from what he has taught us as a result of what he has shown us as a result of what he has taught us.
Extraordinarily capable; able to maintain cool even when dealing with stressful circumstances; empathetic toward patients, employees, and spouses; gentle, but confident in their abilities. Those of us who have had the privilege of working alongside him should make it a top priority to model our own work after his and to ensure that his legacy is carried on. We owe it to him and to ourselves to ensure that his work lives on. This will make sure that his accomplishments do not fade into obscurity in the years to come.” During this difficult time, we want his wife and his two daughters to know that they are in our thoughts and prayers and that they are on our minds. We also want them to know that we are thinking of them.
