Tracy Morris

Tracy Morris has written extensively for the Internet, beginning with About.com as their first Guide to Infertility (1997-2002) and as a Consultant to Moms Online (1998-2000), an original part of the Oxygen Media network. Following those earlier years in Web publishing, bringing patients and experts together online, Tracy expanded her freelance availability to include health care media and public relations and writing/editing for consumer magazines.

Thoughout her prior career of family-centered and medical social work, Tracy spent 15 years in the arenas of substance abuse prevention, residential adolescent psychiatric treatment, foster care, battered women’s shelters, HIV services, and hospitals -- all of which may explain why, second only to running around town with her son, her favorite activity is being alone with a computer.

Tracy retreated in 1997 to work as a writer from her home while raising the boy and their menagerie. Her varied professional and personal experiences provide an abundance of rich sources for creativity and solid information. She is a member of the Association of Health Care Journalists, and is presently editor of several patient education newsletters and contributor to websites, blogs, and magazines on health care topics.
