Chatham Kent Health Alliance welcomes new psychiatrist

Chatham-Kent Health Alliance announced the addition of a new physician.

Dr. Sunday Adewuyi has joined the department of psychiatry.

“We are pleased to welcome Dr. Adewuyi to our medical team,” Dr. Pervez Faruqi, chief of staff, said. “His skills, knowledge and expertise will certainly enhance our delivery of patient and family-centered care.”

Adewuyi earned a bachelor of medicine and bachelor of surgery from the University of Ilorin in Nigeria in 1997. After practicing in Ghana, Ireland and Scotland, he moved to Canada in 2016.

He has served in Thunder Bay as well as Saskatoon and North Battleford, Sask.

“It’s a pleasure being here to serve the Chatham-Kent community. This is not my first time in Ontario having worked in Thunder Bay. Now I’ve come down south to Chatham and I’m able to provide the same service in an improved way,” Adewuyi said.

“I am excited to work with the great team at CKHA to provide mental health services to those in the community.”

His office is located at 240 Grand Ave. in Chatham. The intake team can be reached at 519-351-6144, ext. 5051.
