In 2008 Jack founded Harborside Press, publisher of  JNCCN—Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. Jack joined the board of NCCN Foundation in 2010 and was elected to serve as Secretary, a role he continued to serve until his retirement in 2023.

At the NCCN 2023 Annual Conference held in Orlando from March 30- April 2, NCCN Foundation celebrated the decades-long dedication and contribution of long-time board member Jack Gentile after his retirement from the board.
