DAYSLAND – A newly recruited family physician is providing care to residents in Daysland and area.
Dr. Henry Orewa works out of Daysland Medical Clinic and Daysland Health Centre. Individuals needing a family doctor can call 780-374-3944 to arrange a meet-and-greet appointment.
“Family doctors are vital to the health of Alberta families and communities,” says Jackie Lovely, MLA for Camrose. “Dr. Orewa is a welcome addition to the Daysland area and he is sure to be a great asset to the community.”
Dr. Orewa received his medical education in Nigeria and at the University of Western Ontario. He practised in Cold Lake prior to coming to Daysland. He is the fifth physician to join Daysland Medical Clinic and the sixth practising in the community.
Dr. Orewa chose Daysland in part because it reminds him of his childhood growing up in a small agricultural community. “The close-knit relationships, great values and collaborative approach to community growth I found endeared me to Daysland,” he says.
In his free time, he enjoys cooking, cycling and participating in outdoor activities.
