Tracey Abell, ACHS President

Tracey grew up in Portland, Oregon, where her grandmother, a nurse, professor, and organizational management expert with a background in holistic healing, introduced her to holistic health at a young age. Inspired by her grandmother’s dedication to healthcare and education, Tracey began her own education journey in the field of massage by attending the East West College of Healing Arts, where she developed a deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of body systems and how wellness can have an impact on quality of life. This experience reinforced her interest in pursuing a career where she could help others. In 2002, Tracey joined the American College of Healthcare Sciences (ACHS), where she gained expertise in admissions, academic operations, accreditation, compliance, and strategic growth. As an adult learner herself, earning her BS in Business Management from Western Governors University and an MS in Education with a specialization in Leadership in Higher Education from Capella University, Tracey understands firsthand the needs of post-traditional students. She is committed to ensuring ACHS meets students where they are, providing flexible, high-quality education that helps them achieve their goals. As President and CEO of ACHS, Tracey leads with a focus on academic excellence, innovation, and student success. She works with teams to expand opportunities for students and graduates, ensuring that ACHS remains a leader in accredited integrative health education. Her expertise spans higher education accreditation and compliance, program development, and strategic institutional leadership. She also has extensive experience navigating multi-state finance, HR, and academic regulations. Tracey is active in the distance education community, engaging in advocacy to enhance the recognition and value of online learning. Since 2014, she has served as a Business Standards and Title IV evaluator for the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC) and currently serves as a DEAC Commissioner and member of the DEAC Board of Directors. “I am inspired by our students and graduates and the work they are doing to transform healthcare and promote wellness in their community using the ACHS integrative health and wellness education. I'm also proud of our staff and faculty who live our mission through their dedication and passion for making a difference in the world and helping students make their dreams a reality. Education is about so much more than gaining knowledge. At ACHS, education is about community, innovation, and empowering others to embrace wellness as a lifestyle. It is an honor to lead an institution with a mission to make the world a more sustainable and healthier place for all.”
