Born on December 20, 1933 in Nazareth, Palestine, he completed his education and medical school in Damascus, Syria in 1957. He then worked as a physician for the United Nations in Palestinian refugee camps, becoming the chief supervising physician for many of the camps in Syria.
He immigrated to the United States in 1962 with his bride and completed his Ob-Gyn residency in Boston, Massachusetts.
Following his residency, he joined a successful Ob-Gyn practice in Providence, RI and played an integral role in initiating Ob-Gyn care for underserved women at the Providence community, Pawtucket community, and Chad Brown Health Centers.
Amongst his numerous achievements, he served as Chief of the Ob-Gyn department at St Joseph and Fatima Hospitals and as team chief at Women and Infants' Hospital. He retired as a Clinical Professor Emeritus at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University.
A physician for over 50 years, he brought over 12000 babies into the world. Dr Khoury was a role model for hundreds of resident physicians and medical students, receiving many teaching awards during his career.
A devout Christian, Dr. Khoury was an active participant in the life of his church serving as a member of the parish council for many years. He was a Knight Commander of the Order of Saint Ignatius of Antioch.
He enjoyed spending time with his family, ping pong, backgammon, Arabic poetry, and traveling.

We are so saddened by Dr. Khoury's passing. Our thoughts are with Salwa, Olga and Fred and the rest of the family. Bill was one of the kindest, most caring physicians in our department, and was devoted to his patients and the community. He was not a bad table tennis player, either. We will miss him.

Of the scores of physicians I met over three decades of representing medical professionals in my law practice, I knew none as kind, caring or generous as Dr. Khoury. He made a profound impression on me that lasts to this day. Rest in peace Nabil.
