Dr. Tracie Mallberg is the medical director for both Hospice of the Red River Valley and House Calls-Red River Healthcare, a home-based primary care program. Both are based in Fargo but extend care to patients across much of North Dakota and Northwest Minnesota. She was born and raised in rural North Dakota and she and her husband, Steve Sylvester, raised their eight children in Fargo.
She is a graduate of the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and is Board Certified in Family Medicine. She owned and operated an independent family practice clinic, LilyCare, in West Fargo for over five years, and in 2010 she was named Woman of the Year in Medicine. When her son suffered a traumatic brain injury as the result of a tragic accident, her career pivoted to allow for participation in her son’s recovery and, in 2013, she joined the VA Medical Center’s Emergency Department.
She joined Hospice of the Red River Valley in 2017 after her father died of cancer and she was able to see, firsthand, the value of hospice care at the end of life. In 2019, she was pivotal in the development of House Calls, the first home-based primary care program in North Dakota, now serving over 500 patients.
As a daughter, wife, mother, teacher and physician, she is passionate about bringing people’s needs and wishes to the center of healthcare.
