                        TRIBUTE TO RULON STACEY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BOB SCHAFFER

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 10, 1999

  Mr. SCHAFFER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend Mr. Rulon Stacey 
who was named Young Health Care Executive of the Year by the American 
College of Health Care Executives. He is the Chief Executive Officer of 
Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado.
  Poudre Valley Hospital is not only the largest hospital in my 
district, it is the hub of a much larger health care system serving 
communities throughout eastern Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska. Since 
Mr. Stacey joined the Poudre Valley Health System in 1996, the system 
has grown to include Mountain Crest Orthopedic Center of the Rockies, 
Estes Park Medical Center, Children's Clinic, Northside Health Center, 
and regional trauma, heart, and neuroscience centers.
  Mr. Stacey earned this award because he has worked to bring together 
diverse interests in the medical community into a partnership. His 
talents have earned him the respect of his colleagues and associates. 
The ultimate benefactors of his work, however, may never know his name. 
They are the patients and their families served by the network of care 
at the Poudre Valley Health System. On behalf of my constituents, I 
congratulate Mr. Stacey on his award and commend his work to the House 
of Representatives.
