NCM: Why the Newnan area? “Coincidence,” Olubi said. Her husband, Dr. Olu Joshua, a lung care specialist, was interviewing for a job in Newnan. The hospital happened to be looking for a cardiologist as well. As it turns out, the coincidence was a happy one. “When we came, I fell in love,” she said. “I enjoy the openness and warmth of people in the area.” As Olubi settled into her practice, she was surprised by the number of patients who genuinely wanted to know more about her. Now she welcomes those familiar faces. “It’s like one big, happy family,” she said.
NCM: What’s the scoop on your family? Olubi and Joshua have three children, a daughter and two sons. They enjoy traveling together. When they’re not experiencing new places, they’re a family that loves to read. “The children enjoy reading books and discussing them,” Olubi said. “We just finished ‘Charlotte’s Web.’ My little boy was just crying!” “My daughter loves the Harry Potter series,” she added.
