Yesterday, we said goodbye to Dr. Mark Shaffrey, our Chair of Neurosurgery at UVA. Mark embodied hope, compassion, and leadership, saving lives, and advancing care with unwavering dedication. His impact on UVA Health and beyond will never be forgotten. hillandwood.com/obituaries/Dr-…

It is with great sadness that we relay the passing of Dr. Mark Edwin Shaffrey, chair of the Department of Neurosurgery. Dr. Shaffrey’s visionary leadership and dedication to advancing neurosurgery have left an indelible mark on healthcare nationwide. He will be missed enormously.
