As chief surgeon at one of the five largest children’s hospitals in the U.S., Dr. Ostlie will oversee a department that performs more than 40,000 operations annually. He will report to Cincinnati Children’s CEO Steve Davis, MD, according to a Jan. 28 news release.
Dr. Ostlie will join the health system from Phoenix Children’s, where he has served as surgeon-in-chief and chair of the surgery department since 2016.
After 10 years in the role, Cincinnati Children’s current surgeon-in-chief, Daniel von Allmen, MD, in fall 2024 shared plans to step down.
