Cole Landon, PA-C

Raised in Idaho by Dr. Mark and Vickie Landon, Cole earned his Eagle Scout at 14 and graduated from Skyline High School. He served a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Atlanta, Georgia, before earning a Bachelor of Science in Aviation and a private pilot's license from Utah Valley University.

In 2010, Cole married his wife Stacey and shortly after was accepted into the U.S. Army Officer Candidate School. He completed Basic Combat Training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, and earned his commission as a Second Lieutenant at Fort Benning, Georgia. In 2013 he volunteered for deployment with the 191st Combat Sustainment Support Battalion to Camp Arifjan, Kuwait, in support of Operation Enduring Freedom — serving as Assistant Battalion Operations Officer and leading a platoon-sized element on retrograde logistics operations across multiple regions of Afghanistan.

It was on deployment that Cole first saw what Physician Assistants could do — front-line patient care, decisive judgment, and the kind of medicine that actually changed outcomes. That experience inspired him to pursue a career in medicine.

In 2016 Cole was selected for the Interservice Physician Assistant Program (IPAP), where he earned a second Bachelor's degree and a Master of Physician Assistant Studies from the University of Nebraska Medical Center. He began his medical career in urgent care in southeastern Idaho before joining Wound Care of Idaho as lead provider for the Idaho Falls clinic.

Cole's military awards include the Meritorious Service Medal, Army Commendation Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal with Campaign Star, Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary and Service Medals, and the NATO Medal. Today, CPT Landon brings that same patient-centered, mission-focused approach to every visit. He resides in Idaho Falls with Stacey and their three sons: Oliver, Greyson, and Braxton.
