About Schmidt Public Affairs

John Schmidt opened Schmidt Public Affairs in 2004 after spending more than 14 years in senior roles with three international public relations firms. With the vision of an intimate environment that would allow more personalized attention from the top down to a select group of clients, with more focus on client deliverables and less on lip service and nickel-and-diming, Schmidt Public Affairs was born. We remain dedicated to this founding premise – that clients are best served by frequent, direct and thoughtful interaction with smart, accessible professionals who can manage tactics that work and help clients achieve their business objectives.

Together with several select, seasoned and talented public affairs professionals – most of whom have worked together before – we have established a hands-on, no-nonsense, results-oriented firm. Combined, Schmidt Public Affairs' professionals have more than 75 years of health care experience and a deep understanding about the issues facing health care providers today.

Clients find that Schmidt Public Affairs is a different kind of firm with a unique and effective style. We work hard, and are always available when needed – any time, day or night. We are a true team – working closely together, and drawing upon our varying and harmonizing skill sets to the benefit of our clients. Schmidt Public Affairs is passionate about our clients' issues, mindful of their needs and dedicated to their success.
