Oregon Specialty Group has named Jeron Jackson as its Chief Executive Officer, effective May 1st.

OSG thanks her for the leadership she brought to this work and wishes her all the best in what comes next.
In the past six months as Chief Operating Officer, Jeron has taken on a broad scope of operational leadership across the organization. He brings more than 15 years of healthcare leadership experience in specialty medical groups, hospital service lines, and multi-site operations, and a strong understanding of healthcare strategy, operations, and priorities. His background spans oncology, cardiovascular services, orthopedics and sports medicine, neurosciences, surgical services, ambulatory care, and research.
In his role as CEO, Jeron will guide the organization’s strategic direction, with a focus on expanding access to specialty care, strengthening care delivery, and supporting the teams who make that work possible across the region.

“Since joining Oregon Specialty Group, I’ve been struck by the level of clinical excellence across the organization and the unwavering commitment to putting patients first,” said Jeron. “Our teams are deeply connected to the communities we serve, and the impact they make every day is significant. As I step into this role, I’m focused on building on that foundation and advancing a clear strategic direction that will carry us forward.”
