Get to Know Velvet
Learn more about Velvet Schmidt in our Q&A session below.
I am a triple board-certified nurse practitioner specializing in primary care across the lifespan, chronic disease management, women's health, and opioid/substance use disorder.
I chose healthcare because I grew up being a patient at Riley Hospital after I survived a house fire when I was 5 years old in which I was burned over 40% of my body. The nurses and doctors were such an inspiration to me throughout the years of care I required. I've wanted to be a nurse for as long as I remember. I love practicing a Schneck because Schneck is committed to excellence. There is consistent work towards improving the outcomes of our patients and improving the health of the community. I feel privileged to be a part of an organization that is making such a positive impact on the lives of the people we serve.
I grew up in Greensburg, Indiana. I enjoy the time with my husband, daughter, and our fur babies We love trips to Tennessee with friends and riding our RZR in the mountains any time of year. I bought a Jeep 2 years ago. It's been so fun modifying it and being part of the Jeep community.
