Get to know Family Physician Dr. Sean Hollonbeck, who served patients throughout the State of Florida.
Dr. Hollonbeck is a physician with decades of experience spanning traditional medical footprints to austere spaces from combat to the remotes of Africa and Asia. He is a passionate, dedicated leader focused on global health paradigm shifts to save lives and promote wellness.
Born at Fort Benning, Georgia, Dr. Hollonbeck is an identical twin son of an Army Optometrist. Due to a traumatic event resulting in a spinal cord injury to his twin before the start of high school, he set his path to become a physician and serve his country. He had an early calling to serve and in his junior year of high school at 17, he joined the Illinois Army National Guard as an 11 Bravo light infantryman.
Accepted early entrance to Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, Dr. Hollonbeck proceeded to Fort Benning where he completed his residency in family medicine at Martin Army Community Hospital in 2000. His medical education continued with a second residency in the joint Army Navy Aerospace Medicine at Naval Air Station Pensacola in 2007. He also obtained a Master of Public Health degree from the University of Texas Medical Branch as part of that program while having the honor of educational training at NASA.
After extensive military assignments, his final assignment was as the Deputy Commander of the US Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory at Fort Rucker, Alabama in 2018. Dr. Hollonbeck retired in the summer of 2018 to Gulf Breeze, Florida with his daughter, Olivia, and their various horses, cows, goats, and chickens. He worked for the last year conducting contracted VA disability ratings exams and legal consulting work for blast injury and hearing loss for veterans.
Locally, Dr. Hollonbeck is volunteering with veterans service organizations and the IHMC. He serves on three boards – the Pensacola Veterans Memorial Park Board, the Parelli Foundation Board, and the SIU School of Medicine Alumni Board. During the second half of his career, he worked more and more in the area of PTSD and has, in retirement, established a local veteran PTSD equine therapy non-profit program to help veterans move past their traumatic exposures.
Family medicine is a medical specialty devoted to comprehensive health care for people of all ages. The specialist is called a family physician or family doctor. A family physician is often the first person a patient sees when seeking healthcare services.
