THREE HILLS – A newly recruited family physician is providing care to residents in Three Hills and area.
Dr. Jesutola Adewumi works out of Kneehill Medical Clinic in Three Hills and provides emergency room coverage at Three Hills Health Centre. Individuals needing a family doctor can call 403-443-5522 or visit www.kneehillmedicalclinic.ca to arrange a meet-and-greet appointment.
“Family doctors are vital to the health of Alberta families and communities,” says Nathan Cooper, MLA for Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills. “Dr. Adewumi is a welcome addition to the Three Hills area, and he is sure to be a great asset to the community.”
Seven physicians practise out of Kneehill Medical Clinic.
Dr. Adewumi received his medical education in Nigeria where he also practised before arriving in Canada in November 2023.
The opportunity to work in the emergency department attracted him to Three Hills.
“The emergency room has always been a huge part of my career,” says Dr. Adewumi. “The community’s family-friendly nature and great location also interested me in coming to Three Hills."
In his free time, he loves spending time with his family, singing, swimming, and playing board and video games.
