The CEO Series: Nathan Schema, Good Samaritan Society


Nate Schema began 2022 by stepping into the role of president and CEO of The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society. He’s well prepared for the position, having spent nearly 15 years already with the organization, from administrator-in-training to chief operating officer.

Three years ago, the organization integrated with Sanford Health, the largest rural health system in the country, and Schema believes this has positioned the Good Samaritan Society to shape the future of the senior care industry and transform the aging experience.

"Now, thanks to our integration with Sanford Health, we have a unique opportunity to reimagine how we care for our communities. The needs of seniors are evolving, and we plan to continue to provide the care and services seniors want and need, both now and in the future," said Schema.

"Regardless of the subject or policy, we have the opportunity to advocate at a state and national level for what’s best for our residents and staff with the help of our industry associations and experts within our integrated health system."
