HIGH LEVEL — Local and area residents now have improved access to primary care with the recruitment of another family physician for the community.
Dr. Oluwaseyi Oyebade is a family medicine and obstetrics physician who is now practising at the Northwest Health Centre. Dr. Oyebade joins a team of eight other family medicine physicians in the community.
“Dr. Oyebade is a welcome addition to the physician team in High Level,” says Dan Williams, MLA, Peace River. “Family physicians are the cornerstone of medical care for rural Albertans and her desire to practise in this region is greatly valued.”
Originally from Nigeria, Dr. Oyebade completed her residency in South Africa.
Dr. Oyebade and her spouse enjoy swimming and soccer, and look forward to learning more about the region.
Alberta Health Services (AHS) continues to recruit for physicians across northern Alberta to meet community needs. AHS has physician resource planners who are dedicated to identifying and pursuing international and domestic physician recruitment opportunities. They work closely with various community partners and organizations, such as local Health Advisory Councils, the Rural Health Professions Action Plan, and independent physician attraction and retention committees.
Alberta Health Services is the provincial health authority responsible for planning and delivering health supports and services for more than four million adults and children living in Alberta. Our mission is to provide a patient-focused, quality health system that is accessible and sustainable for all Albertans. Our current focus is on reducing emergency department wait-times, improving EMS response times, increasing access to surgeries, and improving patient flow.
