Dr. Jared Jones has been the team doctor for Anderson University since 2008. Previously, Dr. Jones was the team doctor for Indiana Wesleyan University.
“Since 2008, I’ve had the privilege of serving Anderson University student athletes who are passionate about their sport. Watching their love for the game and knowing I’m able to play a small part in their success is very rewarding. I’ve also enjoyed educating AU student athletic trainers to develop their clinical skills and help them build successful careers.” ~ Jared Jones, MD

“After serving as a team physician for over 24 years, it’s still fun to walk out on the field/court for a game. Memorable highlights include the Bowl games, championships, undefeated seasons, and the relationships I’ve built with staff and athletes. To watch the athletes succeed on the field/court after recovering from injury is very fulfilling!” ~ Kenneth Haller, DO
