Dr. Sean Brodale was born and raised, with 7 siblings, near Salt Lake City, Utah where he married his high school sweetheart and has 3 children and 6 (almost 7) grandchildren. He moved to the Midwest in 1995 to attend Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine, graduating in 1999. He completed a dual residency in Family Practice and Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine in 2003. He and his wife ran a private practice in Bloomfield, IA until 2016. He then worked in the Fort Madison ED for nearly 10 years. He felt it was time to get “back to his roots” in family medicine and found his way to VBCH. Dr. Brodale enjoys spending time with his family, outdoor activities, hunting and target shooting. He enjoys all aspects of medicine and has special interest in lifestyle medicine and osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMT) and is excited to be here at VBCH.
Dianne received her Masters in Nursing from Clarkson College in Omaha NE. She has been a family nurse practitioner for the past 24 years. She and her husband farm in Davis County and love the rural environment as their home. She provides care for all ages. She is certified as a DOT Examiner. While family practice provides care for a wide variety of health care, she has a special interest in diabetic care.
I came to VBCH to be closer to my girls while they are in school and love the family friendly culture here! I appreciate the more intimate atmosphere and more personal service we are able to provide to the community. The hospital believes in its employees and is happy to give current employees the chance to advance if possible.
