Rated 2.6 out of 5 from 20 reviews

Elbowoods Memorial Health Center in New Town runs by appointment, so scheduling ahead means a single visit covers the full panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis) plus same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, vaccines, and STI counseling, all at no fee.

Read full overview

No Fee Applies to Every Service Here

Elbowoods Memorial charges nothing for any service it provides, testing, treatment, vaccines, counseling. That means the scope of care a patient receives is determined entirely by clinical need, never trimmed to fit a bill.

Hepatitis C Treatment Completed On-Site

Hepatitis C treatment at Elbowoods Memorial is handled directly within the clinic rather than handed off to a specialist network. A patient diagnosed there can move from confirmed infection into a managed treatment course without changing providers or facilities.

Herpes and Hepatitis Expand the Standard Panel

Beyond the core four bacterial and viral infections, Elbowoods Memorial's panel includes herpes simplex and hepatitis A, B, and C testing. Hepatitis C in particular is both tested and treated on-site, so a reactive result doesn't stall at diagnosis.

Reading these numbers: reported case rates only count infections that were actually tested for and diagnosed, so they track local screening effort as much as true spread: a higher rate can reflect more testing, a lower one less. Either way, most STIs cause no symptoms, so treat the figures above as context rather than a verdict, and test on the CDC's schedule regardless of how your area looks.

Pregnant or planning to be? Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when

Congenital syphilis, passed from parent to baby in pregnancy, is the fastest-rising STI in the country. U.S. cases climbed from 2,163 in 2020 to 3,882 in 2023. It is almost entirely preventable: the CDC recommends a syphilis test at the first prenatal visit, and every clinic and lab listed for Mountrail County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About New Town, ND

New Town's economy turns on oil and gas work, ranching, and seasonal construction: trades that demand physical exams, quick turnarounds, and the kind of privacy people expect when their health records matter. That same expectation shapes how residents approach STI screening. The community tends toward larger family structures, where household decisions often involve multiple generations under one roof, making confidentiality feel less like a courtesy and more like a foundation for honest care. Young adults in New Town, those in their late teens through thirties, have particular reason to seek routine screening without fanfare. Whether someone's starting a new job in the energy sector, moving between households, or simply staying on top of their health, confidential testing in and around New Town means results remain entirely separate from family, workplace, and social circles.

The testing sites listed on this page understand that discretion isn't negotiable here. Access matters when winter closes roads and work schedules shift with the drilling season. Clinics serving New Town recognize these rhythms and offer appointments that fit how people actually live, not around some abstract ideal of availability. Residents can reach testing without broadcasting their visit to the whole community, a quiet reassurance that matters in a place where neighbors overlap in unexpected ways.

Confidentiality & consent in North Dakota Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

Two things that actually depend on North Dakota law: who can consent, and whether partners can be treated without their own visit. Everything else about testing privately is the same nationwide (see below).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In North Dakota, a minor aged 14 or older can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

North Dakota permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication (or a prescription) to pass to your partner, no separate exam or appointment needed for them.

Keeping a test private works the same in every state. Whether an STD test shows on insurance (the EOB), how to test anonymously, and self-pay options that leave no insurance trail don’t change by location.
