Aly Dahl grew up in a small community in rural North Dakota prior to moving to Fargo. She completed her Bachelor of Science degree in Respiratory Therapy and her Master of Physician Assistant Studies at the University of North Dakota in 2017. She is a first-generation college graduate, who strives to always remember her roots and where she came from.

Working as a Family Medicine Physician Assistant since 2017, she has worked in both corporate and private practice in Fargo and has felt and experienced the constraints that the fee-for-service/insurance model has placed on patients and providers.

This is why she is beyond excited to bring a Direct Primary Care (DPC) model to North Dakota. It empowers her to practice medicine the way she has always envisioned, with the primary focus being on the patient.

Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her husband, children and family. They love traveling, exploring new areas, especially National Parks, hiking in the mountains and simply watching the joy and memories made with their children. Their lives are often filled with running to multiple activities, sports and chaos, but she wouldn’t have it any other way!

“Quality of care is one of the things I’ll never compromise on. You’ll often hear my motto “quality over quantity”. I truly believe that everyone deserves access to quality care that is also affordable and not lead to medical debt. I have spent years advocating to friends and colleagues that our current healthcare system should not be considered the “norm” and that I was going to find a way to redefine and change how medicine was delivered.

As an advocate for my patients, I also strongly believe in the importance of setting boundaries to prioritize a work-life balance. Healthcare professionals dedicate countless hours to caring for others, often at the expense of their own well-being. It is crucial to recognize that in order to provide the best care for patients, we must also take the time to reset, refresh and work on being our best selves. Creating an environment that empowers both patient care while taking care of our employees and selves is what I look forward to most in operating our new clinical model.

If you asked me what I love most about Primary Care, I’d tell you top of the list is getting to know families across multiple generations. Being able to witness milestones and moments that shape their lives, is something I will always cherish. It is equally important for me to know what impacts patients outside our walls, as everything in their life will affect their wellness and success in reaching their goals. In the past several years, I have become passionate about Obesity Medicine, due to it having the potential to prevent numerous chronic health diseases. After the loss of my father several years ago this ignited my fire to dedicate time educating others on how to prevent these diseases before they begin, in hopes they can live a long & healthy life."
