Introducing
our new
CEO!
My name is Tracie Horton, and I am originally
from Scott County, Virginia. My parents are Carlos
and Nancy Horton, and I am an only child.
I attended Emory & Henry College where I pursued
a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Biology with a
contextual support in Chemistry.
After college, I worked with the Virginia Department
of Health as a Health Educator focusing on
environmental and policy change as it relates to creating
healthier communities. I also completed a Master’s of Business Administration and Graduate Certificate in
Public Management from Old Dominion University during this time.
In 2004, I relocated to Somerset and accepted a position with Adanta as an Assistant to the Chief Executive
Officer. My responsibilities at Adanta, while always in the administrative scope, have included contracts,
purchasing, insurance, credentialing, billing, and claims tracking/resolution, as well as any special projects
assigned by the CEO.
I have been married to Alan Hunley since November 2013, and have a soft spot in my heart for animals. I
have a spoiled and sometimes rotten schnauzer by the name of Sydney.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading and traveling. My husband is an avid boater, so we spend most weekends
on Lake Cumberland.
In my time at Adanta, I have seen the agency grow and change for the better. Like many businesses, we face
new and unprecedented challenges to service delivery brought about by COVID-19, as well challenges to our
business model. Although these trials upend the normal, they also represent an opportunity to set ourselves
apart, to refocus and retool our business to continue to enhance the lives of the people we serve. I as well as
our staff have many ideas to make this happen.
I am honored to step into the role of CEO, and am excited to begin working with our staff to keep Adanta
moving forward.
