"They will have the opportunity to collaborate and train alongside exceptional physicians, gaining comprehensive expertise in various areas of medical practice," he said in a news release.

"Many of our residents in the past have also discovered that Chatham-Kent is a warm and welcoming community and making it an optimal and comforting place to call home."

"I'm looking forward to cycling around the city, and exploring what Chatham-Kent has to offer," said Desai in the release. "I'm really excited to meet the preceptors I've worked with in the past and show them how far I've come."

Pearce completed his Doctor of Medicine at Western University in London, and joined the hospital with some familiarity as he chose to complete a rural family medicine rotation with CKHA in 2022.

"I'm really looking forward to starting my residency at CKHA," said Pearce in the release. "I'm also excited to explore Chatham-Kent a bit more and hopefully get a chance to fish, being so close to the lake."

During the same visit, another expectant mother experienced complications during labor and was transported by bike to find health care. She fell off the bike, and both she and the baby died. "I can't let that happen again. I can't," Timbo said. "I cannot just sit down and see these things happening, while I have the means here in America" to help prevent them. Timbo grew up in the village of Royanka, near Freetown, Sierra Leone...
