Dr. Adaobi Okonkwor, Class of 2013, has joined Covenant Health Plainview in Texas as the hospital's newest obstetrics and gynecology physician. She will start her practice at the Covenant Health Care Center in late July. 

Dr. Okonwor has family throughout Texas and was ecstatic about the move. "I really enjoy Texas, especially the people. And when I came to Plainview that was really one of the first things that stood out. Everyone here is so very, very nice and thoughtful," said Dr Okonkwor.

After graduating from the College of Medicine, Dr. Okonkwor started her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology in the Lehigh Valley Health Network in Allentown, PA. After her residency, Dr. Adaobi enrolled in the Master's Degree program at Johns Hopkins' School of Public Health.

Dr. Okonwor feels that one of the most rewarding parts of being an OB/Gyn is the connection she has with her patient and their family. She looks forward to helping her new community of Plainview grow and prosper.
