Andrew’s practice, Great Plains Geriatrics, treats the elderly in memory care facilities as their primary care provider. He says he aims to treat them with the dignity and respect they deserve.
The Schocks are proud fourth generation South Dakotans with an ancestry of farming, teaching, entrepreneurship, and state pride. Janelle once taught graphic design and photography to high schoolers, while Andrew is a physician assistant who is a founding member and owner of a geriatric medical practice. Now he serves as president of sales and marketing with SoDak Clothing, as well as running his businesses, Great Plains Geriatrics . In both roles, his heart for people shines through. “We love coming alongside and helping nonprofits and ministries like LifeLight and McCrossan Boys Ranch , partnering with people who are doing great things,” he said. When pageants like Miss America and Miss South Dakota only allowed contestants to wear merchandise from their home state, SoDak Clothing stepped up to the plate. “We love to just love on those women and make it fun for them to represent South Dakota,” shared Janelle. This will be the company’s sixth year partnering with them.
