Dr. Kowalsky dedicated 29 years to military service, beginning as an enlisted E-1 and retiring as a U. S. Navy Captain (O-6). Throughout his distinguished career, he served in multiple war zones in Iraq, provided psychiatric care for detainees at Guantanamo Bay, and practiced both shipboard and undersea psychiatry. He later continued his service as a federal civil service employee with the U. S. Department of State, serving at highly active bases throughout Afghanistan and the Middle East. Following completion of a Geriatric Psychiatry Fellowship at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center-National Capital Consortium in Washington, D. C. , Dr. Kowalsky developed a special passion for caring for older adults. He retired from the U. S. Navy in September 2007 and from federal service as a GS-15 in November 2016. Today, he continues to practice part-time while enjoying time with his family, riding his Harley-Davidson, reading, and expanding his knowledge of the remarkable world around us.
