Leadership
The people
accountable for this.
KDHS is led by a two-person founding team. Clinical authority and business operations are owned by the same family — aligned by design, not by contract.
Owner · Clinical Director · D.M.D.
Dr. Jenna Schulten
Dr. Jenna Schulten is a board-certified pediatric dentist and the clinical authority for Kentuckiana Dental Health Specialists. She grew up in Campbellsville, Kentucky, earned her B.S. in Biology from the University of Louisville, her D.M.D. from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry, and her certificate in Pediatric Dentistry from the University of Kentucky.
Dr. Jenna founded the St. Matthews practice in 2014 and has led its clinical growth to four locations across Kentucky and Indiana. She holds certifications in Basic Life Support (BLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS).
Dr. Schulten serves on the Kentucky Board of Dentistry, where she is actively engaged in legislation to expand pediatric dental access and improve reimbursement rates for providers across the state.
Managing Director · MBA · MSBA · MEng
John Schulten
John oversees all business operations, financial strategy, technology infrastructure, and team management across KDHS locations. He holds a B.S. and M.Eng. in Industrial Engineering from the University of Louisville, an MBA from Bellarmine University, and an M.S. in Business Analytics from the University of Louisville — along with a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification.
Before KDHS, John spent over a decade in senior operations and continuous improvement leadership across large-scale logistics and manufacturing organizations, and has served as a military officer in leadership and supply chain roles. He brings a disciplined, systems-oriented approach to strategy development and execution that is uncommon in healthcare.
John built the internal analytics and reporting infrastructure that drives financial visibility across all four KDHS locations — including real-time collections dashboards, automated AR reporting, and auditable provider compensation systems.
