SPARTA, NJ, April 23, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dr. John Hill III has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Dr. Hill has established a distinguished career in health care leadership and clinical operations, with expertise spanning long-term care, post-acute care and home care. Since 2023, he has served as chief operating officer at Knights Care LLC, where he oversees consultants, coordinates operational and consulting areas, reviews clinical notes to ensure adherence to recommendations and leads operational restructures. His responsibilities include building effective teams within facilities, conducting pro forma analyses, evaluating new contracts and ensuring vendor compliance. Under his leadership, the Manhattan VISTA facility was transformed from a $2 million annual loss to achieving positive EBITDA of approximately $1.8 million within nine months—a testament to his operational acumen.
In 2025, Dr. Hill began teaching health care leadership courses as an associate professor at the University of Phoenix, sharing his knowledge with future leaders in the field. He is also an assistant instructor at Catskill Martial Arts Academy in New York, a role he has held since 2019, where he imparts martial arts skills and values to students.
From 2023 to 2025, Dr. Hill was director of patient services at Vista on 5th and concurrently served as the director of nursing and clinical education at Polaris Healthcare from 2023 to 2024 after being promoted from regional clinical supervisor at the latter company. He also contributed to academia as both an associate professor and professor at SUNY Sullivan from 2021 to 2024, educating nursing students and shaping curriculum development. During this period, he worked as a nursing supervisor at Achieve Rehab and Nursing from 2021 to 2024, ensuring high standards of patient care.
Earlier in his career, Dr. Hill was the lead nurse at The Eliot at Erie Station from 2019 to 2021, managing daily nursing operations and mentoring junior staff. For the preceding two years, he served as the director of patient services at Valley Vista, overseeing comprehensive patient care programs.
Dr. Hill's professional journey began as an emergency medical technician before advancing to paramedic—a role he held until earning his nursing license in 2013. He initially applied for positions in both emergency room settings and nursing home supervision but chose the latter for its financial advantages. Within a week of starting as a supervisor, he was promoted to manager and continued ascending through roles like assistant director of nursing and director of nursing at various facilities. His transition into assisted living and home care led him to become corporate director of nursing for eight buildings before co-founding Knights Care in 2023 with the mission of supporting not-for-profit nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
Furthering his professional expertise, Dr. Hill is an active member of several industry organizations, including the American Nurses Association, the American Organization of Nursing Leadership, the New York Organization of Nursing Leadership, the American College of Healthcare Executives and the American College of Health Care Administrators, among many others.
Dr. Hill's academic achievements have been instrumental in shaping his career trajectory. He earned a Doctor of Nursing Practice in leadership from Grand Canyon University in 2025—a milestone he considers his most notable accomplishment. He also holds a master's degree in nursing administration from Chamberlain University, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the same school and a Bachelor of Science in psychology from Excelsior University. His background in psychology has enriched his understanding of human behavior and informed his leadership style. He has also earned several certifications, including certified dementia practitioner, director of nursing services certification, psychiatric mental health board certification for nursing and BLS and CPR instructor certification.
Overall, Dr. Hill attributes his success to his dedication to people and health care, the unwavering support provided by his wife during periods away from home and his ability to connect with others while remaining humble enough to recognize learning opportunities. He credits continuous learning and extracting lessons from every situation as key contributors to his accomplishments.
Civically engaged, Dr. Hill serves as a mentor through the ACH Mentorship Program and runs a community service program teaching karate to children at minimal cost while offering free courses for facility employees. Although work commitments upstate required him to pause the program for six months, he remains committed to its ongoing success.
His contributions have been recognized with several honors, including Junior Citizen of the Year during high school, the Lifesaver Award from Orange Regional Medical Center and a baronial title granted by the Historical Archive Registry of the International Nobiliary Tribunal of Italy in October 2025—a distinction he prefers to keep understated due to its personal significance.
In his personal life, Dr. Hill enjoys practicing martial arts, having earned a fourth-degree black belt in Tang Soo Do, engaging in archery and reading about psychology, particularly the works of Carl Jung, Friedrich Nietzsche and Sigmund Freud. He has designed a personal coat of arms featuring the motto "Educatio, sapientia et integritas," reflecting his core values: education, wisdom and integrity.
Looking ahead, Dr. Hill plans to focus on mentoring future health care leaders while implementing innovative processes within long-term and post-acute care systems across the United States. He aims to improve patient outcomes and operational efficiency within health care systems while adapting these models for use internationally—customizing them for different governmental entities with the goal of contributing positively to global health outcomes.
