Kyla joined the VBCH team December 2020 as a Family Nurse Practitioner. Prior to becoming a Nurse Practitioner, she worked at the local nursing home as a Nurse Manager completing the MDS for Medicare, Medicaid and Insurance Reimbursement for almost 9 years, so she has worked with Van Buren County Residents and families for over 10 years. She started as CNA in 2001, obtained her Associate's Degree in 2008 and worked at Blessing Hospital on the Med/Surg units until moving back to Clark County. Kyla was also a traveling nurse for some bigger hospitals in Galesburg and Peoria, Illinois. This allowed her to see so many different diagnosis and cultures along with making friends with some amazing people that she still keep in touch with. When offered the job at Keosauqua Health Care Center (formerly Good Samaritan Society) in 2012, she decided that it would be nice to sleep in her own bed every night.
When Kyla is not at work, she enjoys outside activities with her husband, Rowdy and son, Preston. They live in rural Clark County, Missouri where they have cows and horses. She would ride her horses every day if time and weather allowed. Also, the Yates' are big St. Louis Cardinals fans! Kyla also loves Harry Potter and Grey's Anatomy!
She is able to see patients from birth far into retirement and is certified to complete DOT physicals. "I have not found my exact niche' as far as a Nurse Practitioner, so right now I love seeing anyone and everyone".

Prior to attending PA school, Augusta attended Iowa State University where she obtained a bachelor’s degree in biology. While at Iowa State she participated in research studying alternative treatments for Parkinson’s disease with the highly intelligent neuroscientist, Elizabeth Stegemöller, Ph.D.
Augusta was raised in Bloomfield on a family farm and continues to reside there. She looks forward to getting back to her roots and taking care of patients in the surrounding rural areas.
I chose VBCH because it was closer to home, and it gave me the opportunity to be closer to my family if they needed me. I have stayed because it gives me the opportunity to grow my career, be flexible in my schedule so I can spend time with my family, and is overall an amazing place to work with the best coworkers.
