A true visionary with a distinguished background in the arts and philanthropy, Susan Schneider MD is a person of seemingly limitless brilliant facets who has excelled throughout both academic and professional careers in both the arts and sciences. Both a respected physician and a renowned scientist, with degrees, honors and accomplishments in the fields of medicine and scientific research, Dr. Susan Schneider also is an accomplished artist, with parallel degrees and honors and achievements in multiple artistic disciplines.

Susan Schneider pursued her first love in life, the arts, by obtaining advanced degrees in fine arts from one of America’s finest ivy league universities, and went on to a stunning professional career in dance: performing on national and international stages, and eventually becoming not only an award winning choreographer but also director of her own dance company.
The crowning achievements of her careers in the arts, however, have been where Susan Schneider has been able to share her profound knowledge and experience in these fields: first by becoming an active supporter of the nation’s finest arts institutions, and then by also becoming a key figure in the evolution of the trailblazing global philanthropy – The Apogee Foundation.
But even this wasn’t enough to satisfy Susan Schneider’s ambition to make the world a better place. Schneider therefore followed these monumental achievements by obtaining her medical doctorate and then also becoming affiliated with the nation’s most respected academic, clinical and research facilities for the treatment and betterment of human vision: eventually becoming a world renowned physician and medical scientist working selflessly to improve the human condition on a global basis.
Schneider has continued throughout this time to employ her extraordinary artistic and human sensibilities to bring life and health to the spiritual condition of mankind – still actively participating in, creating, sponsoring and directing a host of arts organizations – while now also being able to re-employ her unique creative capacities and love of humanity to bring life and health to the physical condition of mankind. She thus literally brings new vision to millions around the world not only through her scientific research and the resulting medical breakthroughs, but through her ability to make art of life.
Dr. Susan Schneider thus merges her unparalleled backgrounds as both artist and scientist into what has become a historic philanthropic legacy of the Schneider family – and raised all of this to new levels of attainment. Susan Schneider’s many talents and accomplishments notwithstanding, surely the most impressive thing about her is her combined ability and willingness to dedicate this stunning spectrum of talents to re-envisioning the world in ways that can improve the lives of others. And it is this resplendent combination of qualities that mark Susan Schneider M.D. as the worthy perpetuator of the great legacies – artistic, scientific, and philanthropic – that she has come to represent.
Who knows what yet may lay ahead for someone with so much to share and so much willingness to share it, and who knows what benefits the world will yet experience thanks to this new kind of visionary? Whatever the future may hold for this great creative spirit, we can only hope that the answer is: very much indeed!
