One of her articles was distinguished as one of the most frequently cited in the history of the American Journal of Critical Care.

Dr. Cox is also an industry leader, serving in multiple leadership positions and holding appointments on national and global health initiatives. In 2020, she was recognized as a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing.
