Jack Hill Named Wisconsin Honorary Star of Life

Thursday, September 18, 2014 12:24 PM | PAAW Administrator (Administrator)
On September 17, Jack Hill, executive director at Gold Cross Ambulance Service, headquartered in Menasha, was named 2014 Wisconsin Honorary Star of Life and Lifetime Member of the Professional Ambulance Association of Wisconsin. 

 

The award was presented by the Professional Ambulance Association of Wisconsin where Hill is treasurer and serves on the board of directors.  Governor Scott Walker acknowledged the moment by providing Hill with a certificate of appreciation for his many years of service to citizens of Wisconsin.  The award presentation and recognition dinner was held at Tundra Lodge in Green Bay during the annual Paramedic Systems of Wisconsin Conference.  Several Gold Cross Ambulance employees, pictured with Hill, attended the program to celebrate the occasion.

 

During his 21 years of leadership, Gold Cross has grown from 60 employees to more than 160, and from 8 ambulances to 17. The company has incorporated new technologies and clinical care protocols while he’s been at the helm, and has expanded to become a regional service covering 1,200 square miles of Outagamie, Winnebago, Calumet and Waupaca counties, serving more than 260,000 people.

 

As a part-time police officer in mid-1976 in his home town of Hoyt Lakes, MN, Hill got a taste of the career that would eventually become his passion.  He was hired at Gold Cross in 1985 as a paramedic, when he decided to turn his volunteer EMS work into a career. Today, looking back over 29 years with Gold Cross, he remains committed to the quality, efficiency, dedication, compassion and professionalism that characterize the company and his life.

 

In early 2015, Jack and Noi Hill will live part-time in Thailand, spending time with family, enjoying a life of retirement and new adventures.
