About Me

Ellie Pastore joined Shirley Ryan AbilityLab in 2024. Ellie is a certified Occupational Therapist with previous experience working with patients with a wide range of diagnoses and conditions in the acute care setting.

Prior to obtaining her occupational therapy license, Ellie spent time as a volunteer at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab. The experience made a lasting impact, and Ellie decided to return to the organization to work as an Admissions Liaison. As an Admission Liaison, Ellie works to advocate for patients to promote access to the best rehabilitation services available. She is passionate about helping patients transition to the next phase of recovery, and she truly believes that the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab is the #1 place for patients to regain their independence and improve their overall quality of life. 

Ellie currently resides in the Chicagoland area.
