During his time in these roles, Jared collaborated with employers and employees to ensure injured workers received the care they needed. He was dedicated to helping Southern Oregon businesses improve occupational safety and was passionate about bringing quality healthcare to the Southern Oregon community.
For many years, Jared was a member of the Southern Oregon ASSP executive committee. During this time, he served on the conference planning committee and was a speaker at many chapter meetings and conference presentations. In later years, Jared served as the award ceremony MC and helped secure critical financial support for the Southern Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Conference. This work earned him the unofficial but affectionate title of “friend of the conference.”
In 2021, Jared Hill won the “Business Leader Who Gets It” Award at the annual Southern Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Conference in recognition of his outstanding commitment to safety and health.
In November 2024, Jared finished his valiant fight against cancer at the young age of 50.
Jared was an inspiration and encouragement to all who knew him. Our ASSP chapter and conference are exceedingly better because of his impact and influence.
The Southern Oregon Chapter of the American Society of Safety Professionals continues to honor his legacy by naming the “Business Leader Who Gets It” Award in honor of Jared K. Hill.
