Megan Schmidt, APN, FNP-C

"For Megan Schmidt, being a Nurse Practitioner is all about connecting with and listening to her patients. She believes everyone deserves kindness and compassion, and she does her part to make the world a little kinder in her work and day to day life. As a Nurse Practitioner she fulfills that objective by treating her patients with an open ear and open heart to give them the best care possible.

A native of nearby Eureka, IL, Megan began her career as a CNA at a local nursing home. She loved the challenge of the field, working with patients, and studying biology and anatomy; this drove her to pursue her nursing career further. She received her BSN from Bradley University, in Peoria, IL, and completed her MSN, FNP-C degree as Mennonite College of Nursing, at Illinois State University.

Before coming to Senara, Megan worked as a Nurse Practitioner in an urgent care setting. She was looking to connect with her patients in a more meaningful way, and Senara’s care culture was a perfect fit. The Live. Life. Well. mantra at Senara fits in with her personal philosophy of enjoying life and how important it is to reward ourselves once in a while.

When not treating patients, Megan keeps active with her husband, three boys, and 2 dogs. They love to travel and spend time in warm places, relaxing and scuba diving, whenever possible. She is also a talented singer, and can be seen lending her voice in worship services at her church from time to time."

"Senara is a long-held dream come true for Dr. Keith Kramer and his wife, Penny. Every inch of the building and all of Senara’s services reflect the couple’s shared vision for how they can help others Live Life Well.

The Kramers were inspired to create the Senara Experience over a decade ago after an anniversary trip to Canyon Ranch in Arizona. The resort takes an innovative approach to health, wellness and holistic and integrative care. The experience changed their lives. The Kramers felt completely renewed, and wanted everyone to feel that way. Since then, they have made it their passion and mission to create a similar experience for others to enjoy. And that experience is the wellness center at Senara."
