Leonel Trujillo recently joined Albany OB/GYN.
Trujillo provides general obstetrics and gynecological care. He specializes in minimally invasive surgery techniques using traditional laparoscopy and the da Vinci robotic-assisted surgical system.
Trujillo earned a bachelorâs degree from George Fox University, and a medical degree at Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine. He completed residency training at AMITA Health Saint Francis Hospital, as well as an internship at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Corvallis.
Before pursuing a medical degree, he worked as a nursing assistant and shadowed physicians in the United States and Central America.
To answer questions about the city’s vaccine distribution plan and to address community vaccine hesitancy, Evanston Mayor Steve Hagerty hosted a virtual “Coronavirus Q&A” Friday alongside local physicians and Evanston Health and Human Services Director Ike Ogbo.
The city released a COVID-19 vaccine-interest form earlier this month to all Evanston residents. When community members become eligible to receive the vaccine, they will receive a phone call or email from the health department to register for an appointment as soon as two days later.
As of Friday, Ogbo said he estimates 40,000 Evanstonians had filled out the form, and at least 10,000 of those people qualified for a Phase 1B vaccination event, which will begin Jan. 25.
