Dr. Schmidt is co-owner of Auburn Dental Associates and has had a family dental practice in Auburn since 1976. "I have enjoyed volunteering and serving on various not-for-profit community boards. The opportunity to collaborate with other like-minded individuals has taught me a great deal about leadership, helping to create a healthier community and given me a better understanding of the social, economic and healthcare needs of our community. Perhaps no involvement has been closer to my heart than serving on the St. Martin's Healthcare Board. The acute need for access to medical, dental, and vision care among the uninsured residents of DeKalb and Noble Counties is great and not going away! Listening to patients' stories and how grateful they are for a free clinic to call their healthcare home makes me realize how important it is to do our part to make life a little better for others."
