TWO HILLS – A newly recruited family physician is providing care to residents in Two Hills and area.
Dr. Ogechukwu Chukwuma works out of the Two Hills Medical Clinic and Two Hills Health Centre. Individuals needing a family doctor can call 780-657-3337 to inquire about a meet-and-greet appointment.
“Access to physicians like Dr. Chukwuma is good news for the community of Two Hills,” says Jackie Armstrong-Homeniuk, MLA for Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville and Parliamentary Secretary for Settlement Services and Ukrainian Evacuees. “Rural physicians are key to supporting and growing rural Alberta.”
Dr. Chukwuma received his medical education in Nigeria and practised there at Babcock University Teaching Hospital, prior to arriving in Canada.
He is the fourth physician to join the Two Hills team and will be working in clinic, acute care, the emergency department and continuing care.
“I love working in a rural area, and I was attracted by the peaceful, quiet environment around Two Hills,” says Dr. Chukwuma, who enjoys reading novels and travelling in his free time.
