CareOne Clinics Officially Opens in Chevron, Lekki: A New Era of Community-Centered Healthcare Begins

At exactly 12:00 PM on May 1st, 2025, CareOne Clinics officially opened its doors to the Chevron, Lekki community, ushering in a new chapter of accessible, personalized, and preventive healthcare for residents across Lagos.

The launch event brought together a diverse group of medical professionals, community leaders, friends, family, and staff to witness the realization of a dream years in the making. This momentous occasion was more than just the unveiling of a new facility—it marked the start of a healthcare journey grounded in compassion, access, and innovation.

A Vision Born from Experience

CareOne Clinics is the brainchild of Dr. Yewande Oladehin, Chief Medical Director, and Dr. Olakunle Oladehin, Medical Director of Operations. Both seasoned physicians with decades of experience in clinical practice and healthcare management, the Oladehin's have dedicated their careers to improving the healthcare landscape in Nigeria and beyond. Through their journeys, they identified a recurring challenge: the need for accessible healthcare that combines quality, affordability, and trust.

“I’ve always believed in the power of timely and accessible care,” said Dr. Yewande Oladehin during her speech at the launch. “Too often, patients are caught between limited access and late diagnosis. We often compare our healthcare system to those in other continents but what you come to noticed about nations with advance healthcare is that they provide high quality primary health services thus preventing complications that necessitate seeking secondary or tertiary healthcare. We envisioned a space where people could walk in and benefit from quality, accessible and reliable healthcare.”

Their vision became the driving force behind CareOne Clinics, where every patient is treated with the utmost respect, compassion, and professionalism.

We are building a clinic for the future—one that serves both our patients and the planet.”

More Than Treatment—A Focus on Prevention

At CareOne Clinics, the mission extends far beyond simply treating illness. A core pillar of the clinic’s philosophy is preventive care—educating patients, promoting early screenings, and managing health risks before they escalate into emergencies. The clinic offers a range of programs designed to prevent disease and support the community’s long-term health, including immunizations, wellness checks, chronic disease management, and comprehensive health education.

“We firmly believe that prevention is the most powerful form of medicine,” emphasized Dr. Olakunle Oladehin. “By offering early detection and continuous care, we help patients not just survive, but thrive. Our goal is to keep people healthy for as long as possible.”
