I’m Tracy Steffek, the founder of Remedy & Root - a consulting practice grounded in the belief that real change happens when systems listen to communities and work with them, not on them.

With nearly two decades of experience, I help mission-driven organizations build more connected communities. My work focuses on aligning strategy, policy and partners across healthcare, public health, and social sectors so that all people are seen as a whole person and they receive services that work together, not in isolation.

I specialize in:

• Systems integration and strategic transformation

• Community engagement and cross-sector collaboration

• Policy and program development and scale

• Capacity building, and implementation support

For me, this work is both personal and professional. As a double cancer survivor, I bring a rare combination of strategic expertise, lived experience, and a deep respect for grassroots leadership. Whether helping hospitals design patient navigation services or supporting coalitions in aligning health and housing systems, I center the people most impacted and help organizations move from intention to impact.

I believe in working across ideaologies to create shared solutions, but recgonize that we can’t keep patching broken systems and expecting better outcomes. Real change demands both courage and collaboration. I created Remedy & Root because I believe the future of care can be powered by community and designed for real life. Let’s build it together!
