                           HON. ANNA G. ESHOO

                        Wednesday, May 15, 1996

  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I call to the 
attention of my colleagues the installation early next month of Sara J. 
White, M.S., as president of the American Society of Health-System 
Pharmacists [ASHP] at the society's 53d annual meeting in San Diego.
  ASHP is the 30,000-member national professional association 
representing pharmacists who practice in hospitals, health maintenance 
organizations, long-term care facilities, home-care agencies, and other 
components of health care systems. The society has extensive publishing 
and educational programs designed to help members improve their 
delivery of pharmaceutical care, and it is a national accrediting 
organization for pharmacy residency and pharmacy technician training 
programs.
  Since October 1992, Professor White has been director of pharmacy at 
Stanford University Hospital, a 500-bed academic health science center, 
which I am privileged to represent. She now holds this position with 
Stanford Health Services, a health care system formed last September. 
The Stanford Health Services Pharmacy has five inpatient satellites, 
three outpatient pharmacies, an operating room satellite, and a home 
pharmacy service. As director of pharmacy, she directs all financial, 
operational, and human resource components of a service with 100 full-
time personnel serving the health care needs of more than 2 million 
people. She is also clinical professor of pharmacy at the University of 
California-San Francisco School of Pharmacy. Prior to her current 
position, Professor White was associate director of pharmacy at the 
University of Kansas Medical Center from 1975 to 1992.
  A prolific author on topics of pharmaceutical management and human 
and financial resource management, Professor White's research has 
appeared in more than 100 pharmacy, nursing, and medical journal 
articles

and textbook chapters. She has been an active leader and office holder 
in several State and national pharmacy organizations and participates 
in her community through the RotaCare Free Clinic. Professor White 
received the degree of bachelor of science in pharmacy from Oregon 
State University. Both her master of science and residency in Hospital 
Pharmacy came from Ohio State University.
  Mr. Speaker, Professor White has served her profession with 
distinction. I extend my best wishes to her as she takes over the 
leadership of the ASHP.
