Ada — Former Ada Cougar Dr. Brad Heimer recently returned to his hometown to open 580 Sports Medicine and raise a family.

An Oklahoma City native, Heimer’s family moved to Ada in 1997 and he began his venture into sports as an Ada Cougar football player as a sophomore. After graduating in 2000, he attended college at East Central University. Following graduation, he married a fellow Ada and ECU graduate, Kim Rhodes.
