Mr. Barcellona serves as CFO of WVU Medicine, guiding the financial strategy of one of the nation’s leading academic health systems and the largest provider of care in the state. Known for a disciplined, data-driven approach, he has led initiatives to strengthen operating performance, enhance revenue cycle efficiency and ensure long-term financial sustainability amid reimbursement pressures and workforce challenges. As the system has expanded, Mr. Barcellona has set three priorities: benefit design and workforce strategy, regional capital investment and simplifying the balance sheet. The system recently announced $350 million in investments, bringing WVU Medicine’s three-year total of capital improvement projects to more than $1.2 billion as it continues to reinvest in expanding access across West Virginia and its region. Named a “Rising Star” among CFOs by the Philadelphia Business Journal, he previously served as executive vice president, CFO and treasurer of Philadelphia-based Temple University Health System, where he provided leadership that improved the organization’s financial health and credit ratings. Before joining Temple in 2020, Mr. Barcellona held several senior financial and operational leadership roles at UPMC in Pittsburgh.
