Upson Regional Medical Center is “thrilled” to announce the arrival of Dr. Edward Adeniyi to the URMC family.

Dr. Adeniyi is a highly accomplished and dedicated cardiologist who will bring exceptional, personalized care to the communities we serve starting Thursday, Aug. 14, according to hospital officials.

URMC Chief Executive Officer Dan Owens commented, “With an impressive array of honors, awards, and professional memberships, Dr. Adeniyi will be the perfect addition to take our advanced cardiology care to the next level. His warmth, kindness and compassion for patients can be felt in every conversation. URMC is very proud to welcome Dr. Adeniyi to URMC.”

Dr. Adeniyi stated, “I’m truly excited and honored to join Upson Regional Medical Center and become part of the Thomaston community. My passion is caring for the heart, not just by treating illness, but by helping people stay healthy and active for years to come.

“My mission is to provide both preventive and comprehensive cardiac care, ensuring that patients have access to high-quality heart health services close to home,” he continued. “I look forward to meeting my neighbors, building lasting relationships, and working alongside the dedicated URMC team to keep our community’s hearts strong.”

Dr. Adeniyi will serve as medical director of the non-invasive cardiology department at URMC, according to Owens. His clinical interest includes preventive cardiology, cardiac imaging, arrhythmia management, and heart failure management.

Driven by a vision to expand advanced cardiovascular services in rural Georgia, Dr. Adeniyi’s plan is to pursue additional training in clinical cardiac electrophysiology with the goal of bringing specialized procedures such as arrhythmia ablations and other cardiac procedures to the Thomaston area, eliminating the need for patients to travel long distances for care.

Guided by his faith, Dr. Adeniyi says he views his work as a calling to serve with compassion, empathy, and patient-centered care. “To me, my patients are family, and I give them the same compassion and respect I give my own,” he said. “I am here to be the hands and feet of God in caring for the community He loves.”

Dr. Adeniyi served as the cardiology chief fellow at Morehouse School of Medicine, leading the cardiology clinical fellowship program and organizing educational conferences. He also served as internal medicine chief resident at Morehouse, overseeing residents' academic sessions and clinical schedule coordination.

Dr. Adeniyi’s dedication to excellence has been recognized with numerous honors, including Resident of the Year (2022) and Fellow of the Year (2023). He is a recipient of the Presidential and Honors Scholarships from Lee University and the 2025 ABC Electrophysiology Fellowship Sponsorship. He is an active member of American College of Cardiology (ACC), Association of Black Cardiologists (ABC), and Heart Rhythm Society (HRS).

Outside of medicine, Dr. Adeniyi enjoys martial arts, traveling, and cooking. He and his wife, Bethany, are proud parents to their son, Isaiah, and daughter, Eliana.

“We are confident that Dr. Adeniyi will make significant contributions to our community's health and well-being,” Owens concluded. “Please join us in welcoming this exceptional cardiologist to our team.”
