Tracy Carter

Tracy Carter started her healthcare leadership career more than thirty years ago. In 2018, Carter was recognized by Modern Healthcare and Becker’s Hospital Review as one of the top minority executives in healthcare. She is most proud of her work in co-chairing a collaborative that helped 60,000 Akron-Canton residents gain health coverage through Ohio’s Medicaid expansion program. In 2016, she continued to advocate for regional healthcare opportunities by serving as vice president of government relations for Ohio's second largest public hospital system. In late 2019, Carter returned to Akron's largest employer to lead its public policy and advocacy agenda. She volunteers with several civic organizations.
