About this episode
Tracey Johnson discusses her diverse career and impact on healthcare innovation.
Today we are joined by Tracey Johnson, a CEO whose career weaves together banking, market research, education, and business development into a powerful force for change in healthcare. Tracey’s story is one of convergence. Her early career built a foundation across multiple industries, but it was in the commercialization of medical devices and healthcare solutions that everything clicked. From there, she went on to help shape healthcare at a systems level, founding the Office of Health and Medical Research within Queensland Health, in Australia, and driving global investment into Australia’s healthcare sector. But what makes Tracey’s perspective so compelling is her commitment to real-world impact. Today, as CEO of Inala Primary Care, she and her team work in a disadvantaged community, building and scaling innovative models of care for those who need it most. She is also a Churchill Fellow, and studied healthcare systems around the world, bringing back insights that fuel her advocacy for social prescribing, healthcare neighbourhoods, and smarter use of data to improve outcomes.
