Avellino
Professor of Neurosurgery and Pediatrics University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria
I am the CEO of the OSF HealthCare Neuroscience Service Line/Illinois Neurological Institute. My clinical interest is in pediatric neurosurgery. I trained in Neurological Surgery at the University of Washington, and completed a pediatric neurosurgery fellowship at Seattle Children’s Hospital.
Prior to joining the Illinois Neurological Institute and OSF HealthCare in 2014, I served as the Director of UW Medicine Neurosciences Institute and Chief of Neurological Surgery at UW Medical Center. In 2009, I became the first director of the UW Medicine Neurosciences Institute where I was responsible for consolidating and integrating neuroscience programs across the UW Medicine Health System to minimize duplication of resources and improving quality, value, efficiencies, access, cost, volumes, and market share. Prior to leading the UW Medicine Neurosciences Institute, I was the Chief of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Seattle Children’s Hospital from 2007-2009.
