History:

A.E. Hertlzer Knox, MD was the Medical Director of the Hartford Fire Insurance Company in
the 1970’s and 1980’s and was appointed to the Ad-Hoc Connecticut Advisory Council on
Emergency Medical Services, which published a report of recommendation to the Governor
entitled “Emergency Medical Services in Connecticut, a Blueprint for Change”.

In 1978, Dr. Knox assumed the position of Acting Director of the Connecticut Office of
Emergency Medical Services until a permanent Director was hired. Dr. Knox was instrumental
in reformatting the Advisory Council, including the establishment of a State Medical Advisory
Committee, of which he was the first Chair. In 1980, Dr. Knox became the first Medical
Director for the Connecticut Office of Emergency Medical Services and provided physician input and coordination for the Agency.
