Juok received her training as a registered nurse in Korea. In 1972 she moved to Franklin with her husband San Ho Choi where they raised their two sons and two daughters. Active participation in the life of a community has always been important to Juok. At various times she has served on the Board of Directors for the Southwestern Community College Foundation, Smoky Mountain Mental Health, and the North Carolina Community Foundation. Juok is a charter member of the Century Club and serves on the Parish Council for St. Francis of Assisi Church.

Living in an area abundantly blessed with natural beauty, Juok spends as much time as possible in the great outdoors hiking, gardening, and playing tennis. She also enjoys reading, music, and the theatre.

“Angel Medical Center, like the Macon County School System, is the lifeblood of the community. The health care professionals and volunteers of Angel Medical Center provide vital services to their neighbors who are lifelong residents, as well as newly relocated retirees. Companies looking to establish a presence seek out towns where their employees have access to quality medical care. My service to the Foundation for Angel Medical Center gives me the opportunity to give back to the community. Everyone benefits from a thriving community.”
