Tracy Thier

Tracy’s personal experience with a life-altering surgical error, and the subsequent challenges, have undoubtedly shaped her perspective and drove her to take action to protect others. Resilience, advocacy, and research played a critical role in ensuring the best possible outcome for her own health and fueled her resolve to prevent similar situations from happening to others.

Through exhaustive research, she discovered that the surgeon that injured her made several other life-altering mistakes with other patients and the state board has yet to address these recurring issues adequately. This blatant lack of accountability confirms to her that she must advocate for better patient care and safety. Her unique background in navigating the healthcare system partnered with management experience at an Ivy League university will prove to be valuable assets in the efforts to protect others and advocate for change.

Tracy’s story serves as a reminder of the importance of patient empowerment, awareness, and the need for accountability and transparency in healthcare. It’s clear that her journey has led her to a meaningful path of advocacy, where she hopes to make a difference in the lives of others and drive positive change in the healthcare system. She hopes her experience and dedication will inspire others to be more proactive and informed when seeking medical care and in advocating for their rights and safety.
