Alexandra Cox, DHSc, PA-C

As a Carolina girl, Dr. Alexandra Cox completed her undergraduate degree in health science at Clemson University in 2009, graduating with honors. She subsequently attended the Medical University of South Carolina in sunny Charleston, earning a master’s degree as a physician assistant.

An Air Force assignment brought Alexandra and her husband to Delaware in 2012, where she began working as a PA in general surgery. A few subsequent moves—including a temporary assignment in Germany—have given Alexandra professional experiences in several medical fields, including military medicine and urgent care.

Settling in Lewes in 2017, Alexandra began her pursuit of a Doctor of Health Science, which she completed in December 2020. During her doctorate study she focused her research on the incorporation of exercise in the treatment of postpartum depression. The topic brought together her loves of wellness and women’s care, and she is excited to become a resource for pregnant women and moms-to-be for physical and emotional well-being.
