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 am a Virginia girl, born and raised. I grew up in Chesterfield County and graduated from Manchester High School. My mother still lives in my childhood home as my father passed away in 2021. I graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a bachelor's degree in chemistry. Magna Cum Laude. I attended the University of Virginia Medical School and graduated with my MD in 1999. I completed my family medicine residency training in 2002 at Penn State Good Samaritan Hospital in Lebanon, PA. I worked for Carilion Clinic starting in July 2002 in Rocky Mount, Virginia and left in March 2025 to pursue opportunities in locum tenens work through CompHealth.
I became a doctor because of the influences that happened to me as a child. My mother had open heart surgery when I was 8 years old. I was fascinated with what happened to her and I wanted to know the details. She took me to meet her cardiologist, Dr Holland, several months later. I still remember that day and the details of his office and our conversation. I was hooked. I knew then that I wanted to be a doctor. During medical school, I took many elective rotations during my 4th year, and it was then that I figured out that I wanted to be a family doctor.
Growing up so close to a large city, I knew that I did not want to live in a place where I was just a name or a number. I wanted my children to grow up in a small town, so I chose Rocky Mount. I wanted them to see how a small town can provide one the best in life. My sons, Nicholas and Jacob, got to experience that firsthand when we went through a tragic event in our lives 8 years ago with the loss of our home. Our home burned to the ground and so many people in our community came to help us. We were so grateful for everything that people provided us. My sons continue to live in the area as my oldest is now married and has 3 children.
I look forward to the opportunity to provide the best care I can possibly provide for this community. Thank you to Van Buren County Hospital for bringing me here.
Seaira received her RN from Iowa Lakes University then went on to get her Masters through Walden University. She worked as an RN at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics and Ottumwa Regional Health Center. Seaira completed her practicum at Van Buren County Hospital and Clinic with Mindy Danielson, NP so she is no stranger to VBCH. She started with Van Buren County Medical Clinics in November 2021. Seaira sees patients of all ages. She is currently at the Keosauqua Clinic.
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".
