“Marshfield Clinic Health System has invested in small communities and rural areas," said Schmid. “I value being part of an organization that is focused on the community and truly seeks to provide the best care possible even when working with limited resources in rural outreach communities."
In her spare time, Schmid enjoys kayaking, gardening, fishing and hunting.
