Tracie Stratton

COMMUNITY News:

This month’s League of Women Voters’ community event, Lunch with a Leader’, will feature Los Alamos Medical Center CEO Tracie Stratton. The meeting begins at noon on Sept. 18, at the Unitarian Church and is open to the public.

Stratton graduated from Casper College in Wyoming with an Associate’s degree in nursing. She completed her Master’s degree in Nursing Administration while working as the Chief Nursing Officer at Mountain View Hospital in Casper.

In 2012, Stratton and her family moved to Los Alamos, where she started her career with LifePoint Health as Chief Nursing Officer of LAMC. She managed clinical operations at LAMC and received the Chief Nursing Officer of the Year Award and then was promoted to the Health Support Center, where she oversaw clinical initiatives for LifePoint’s Western Division.

Stratton said she has been blessed to serve in many different capacities during her career, all focused on improving clinical care at each patient’s bedside. It is her nursing experience that she credits for bringing a personal touch to her administrative duties; she is especially committed to offering “high quality care close to home”.

Stratton will be addressing Think New Mexico’s legislative proposals from a different point of view than we have heard from Think New Mexico or Rep. Christine Chandler. She will also address topics related to the Medical Center.
