TRACY OLSON

Chief Executive Officer

Tracy has extensive experience in leadership, program management, business analysis and process improvement with a focus in technology and healthcare. She successfully led the business process changes and technology solutions to prepare the North Carolina Telehealth Network Association team for the substantial growth that occurred in the transition from the Rural Healthcare Pilot Program to the Healthcare Connect Fund (HCF) Program. In the first four years of the HCF program, NCTN more than tripled the number of services and reserved over $20M in funding while maintaining a very low administrative overhead.  Tracy also led the transition to the new independent 501c3 corporation, the NC Telehealth Network Association.
