The start of school in North Dakota brings fresh notebooks, new routines… and for a lot of kids, a return of seasonal allergies that can make the first few weeks tougher than they need to be. 🤧📚

Between ragweed, harvest dust, and changing weather, many children deal with runny noses, itchy eyes, coughs, and congestion right as they head back into classrooms. If your child is struggling, Health Now can help you get ahead of those symptoms so they can focus on learning — not sneezing.

We also know schools often require doctor‑provided notes for allergy medications, inhalers, absences, or symptom clarification. Our team can quickly provide the documentation your child needs, whether through an in‑clinic visit or a convenient telehealth appointment.

Health Now — here for your family this school season.

As harvest season rolls across North Dakota, many of us feel the impact long before the combines hit the fields. Between ragweed, dust from gravel roads, and crop debris in the air, this time of year can be tough on sinuses, breathing, and energy levels. 🤧

At Health Now, we’re seeing more patients dealing with itchy eyes, congestion, sneezing, and that “heavy chest” feeling that often shows up when pollen and harvest dust peak at the same time. The good news is—you don’t have to just push through it.

Our team can help you understand what’s triggering your symptoms, choose the right treatments, and get ahead of the allergy wave so you can enjoy the season instead of suffering through it. Whether you’re working the fields, coaching fall sports, or just trying to keep your family feeling their best, we’re here to support you.

Health Now — local care for the seasons that shape us.

We are excited to announce that Health Now has hired another nurse practitioner, Kailey Seedorf! Kailey is still being credentialed with all of the major insurance companies. In the meantime, she can see any cash-pay patients and ALL sports physicals!

Let's meet Kailey!

Hi, I'm Kailey!
I'm originally from Minnesota and have proudly called the Bismarck-Mandan area home since 2012. My nursing journey began when I earned my Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) degree in 2017, followed by my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from the University of Mary in 2019.
I began my career in the outpatient clinic setting before transitioning to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), where I discovered my passion for caring for newborns and supporting families during some of life's most vulnerable moments. Those experiences strengthened my belief that every patient deserves compassionate, individualized care, and inspired me to continue my education.
In April 2026, I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree with a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) specialization from the University of Mary. I am also an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), allowing me to provide advanced, specialized breastfeeding support for mothers and their babies. In addition to my role at Health Now, I also work with Milky Ways Lactation and Doula, where I have the privilege of supporting growing families throughout their breastfeeding and postpartum journeys.
I believe healthcare should be collaborative, personalized, and focused on the whole person—not just treating symptoms. My goal is to partner with my patients to identify the root cause of their health concerns while emphasizing prevention, education, and sustainable lifestyle changes. I strive to create a welcoming environment where every patient feels heard, respected, and empowered to take an active role in their health.
Outside of the clinic, you'll usually find me spending time with my husband and our two daughters. I enjoy coaching my girls in hockey, staying active through strength training and fitness; hunting, fishing, traveling, and spending time at the lake. Living a healthy, balanced lifestyle is something I value personally and strive to encourage in my patients as well. I feel incredibly fortunate to serve the community that my family calls home, and I look forward to building lasting relationships with my patients and helping them achieve their health and wellness goals.

Kailey has a strong passion for the pediatric population but can and will still see patients of all ages. If you'd like to get scheduled with Kailey, call or text 701-502-4669.

Now Available at Health Now!

We are excited to now offer the Fresh Test, a cleaner alternative to the standard glucose drink used for gestational diabetes screening during pregnancy.

Why we love Fresh Test:
• Tastes much better than the traditional glucose drink.
• Made with simple ingredients.
• No artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, or unnecessary additives.
• Provides the same glucose needed for your screening test.

Here's how it works:
- Ask your OB or midwife if Fresh Test is an option for your glucose screening.
- Stop by Health Now, located inside Dakota Natural Health Center, to pick one up.
- Bring it with you to the lab where your provider ordered your glucose test.
- The lab staff will mix it for you, tell you when to drink it, and complete your blood draw just like they would with the traditional drink.

Because pregnancy is a time to nourish your body, many moms prefer to avoid unnecessary artificial colors, preservatives, and additives whenever there's a cleaner option available.

We also offer adjunct pregnancy care for women who want additional support alongside their OB or midwife. Our goal is to help optimize your health throughout pregnancy with a more holistic approach through nutrition, lifestyle, medical guidance, lab review, and personalized support for both pregnancy and postpartum.
