My name is Jill Schmidt. I am honored to be appointed to the Board of The Bay County Medical Care Facility.  Professionally, I have a bachelor’s degree in the Science of Nursing.  I have spent the last 25 years working as a RN at Covenant Healthcare, with 20 of those years on a medical unit.  Currently, I work on an occasional basis in ambulatory surgery.

I’m from the Bay City area.  I love spending time with my grandchildren playing in the water and making sandcastles.  I enjoy camping, reading and traveling.  I volunteer on the hospitality team at Radiant Church and am involved in fundraising for the veterans.  I lead a food drive to collect pantry items for the “I support the 1%” food pantry.
