About Tracy Sitek RN, BSN, ACNP-BC
Tracy began her career in medicine 35 years ago in Scottsdale, Arizona as a Firefighter and Medic and became a Registered Flight RN soon after. She specialized in Emergency Medicine and Trauma until 2015, at which time she graduated from Grand Canyon University as an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner. With a continued desire to help people with complex pain issues, she joined an Orofacial Pain Management practice and specialized in treatment of neurogenic Migraines and Cervical Dystonia with Botox injections, along with trigger point injections to treat TMJ and other muscular disorders resulting from arthritis and trauma.
Realizing that physical and mental health are connected, she took an interest in modalities to improve overall health, achieved by balancing your mind, body and spirit. Tracy went back to school, again, for Post Master’s Certifications in Therapeutic IV infusions and Advanced Medical Aesthetics and Laser Treatments. Tracy has joined the dynamic team at Healthy Families of Albuquerque as a provider and prescriber because they share a vision of holistically restoring mental and physical health using tools that are natural and beneficial to overall wellness.
Tracy is an experienced Mobile and Telemedicine provider, and she looks forward to helping you along your health journey to feeling your best. She also enjoys spending as much time as she can with her family on hunting and fishing trips to the mountains, or just staying home and having movie night from her living room. Gardening and rescuing horses and cats are passions, with plans in the future of a working ranch with a sanctuary for animals looking for a home.
