Dr. Adetunji Adewole and Dr. Vikie Bedard were officially welcomed at a signing ceremony held at Quinte West City Hall, marking a significant milestone for the region's healthcare system.
Dr. Adewole, who will be practicing at the Great Lakes Medical Centre in Trenton, expressed his enthusiasm for joining Quinte West.

Dr. Adewole is eager to establish long-lasting relationships with patients and families, collaborate with other healthcare professionals, and contribute to the community's overall health and well-being.
Dr. Bedard, a native of the Quinte region, brings a wealth of medical expertise to the area. She studied medicine at the University of Ottawa and will be working at the Quinte West location of the Belleville Quinte West Community Health Centre. Dr. Bedard's return to her hometown holds special significance, as she is passionate about providing compassionate and comprehensive care to patients of all ages.
