DAYSLAND – A newly recruited family physician is now providing care to Daysland and area residents after opening practice at the Daysland Medical Clinic.
Originally from Nigeria, Dr. Adetola Lawal has started a full-time family medicine practice after being recruited to the community.
“This is good news for the community of Daysland,” says Jackie Lovely, MLA for Camrose. “Family physicians are vital to the health of rural Albertans and Dr. Lawal’s desire to practice in this region is greatly valued.”
Dr. Lawal will join three physicians already practicing in the community.
