                       Friday, February 26, 2016

  Mr. MARCHANT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate 
Michael Sanborn of Carrollton, Texas, on being named Metrocrest Chamber 
of Commerce's ``Citizen of the Year.'' Michael's leadership and 
dedication to the Metrocrest community in the Dallas/Fort Worth area 
has made a lasting impression that North Texas will not soon forget. I 
would like to extend my sincere thanks to Michael for his many years of 
selfless service to our community.
  Michael has earned recognition as one of the most prominent and 
influential leaders in North Texas' medical community. Michael attended 
the University of Kansas, where he received his undergraduate and 
Master of Science in Pharmacy Administration. Beginning as a 
pharmacist, Michael was quickly promoted to System Director of Pharmacy 
of NCH Healthcare System and eventually Corporate Vice President of 
Cardiovascular Services for the entire Baylor Healthcare System. In his 
current position as President of Baylor Scott & White at Carrollton, 
Michael oversees the 235 bed acute care facility with more than 700 
employees and 500 medical staff members. In addition, he is responsible 
for managing services at several specialty care clinics and diagnostic 
centers throughout Carrollton and surrounding cities.
  The ``Citizen of the Year'' award is presented annually by the 
Metrocrest Chamber of Commerce to an individual who has made a 
significant impact in the community. Michael has shown honesty, 
integrity, and leadership while serving others, which has left a wide 
reaching and lasting effect on many in North Texas. At Baylor Scott & 
White Medical Center, Michael has made local healthcare his top 
priority. Additionally, Michael is actively engaged and regularly works 
with local nonprofits and service organizations. Michael currently 
serves on the boards of Metrocrest Services and the Children's Advocacy 
Center of Denton County, and is the former Chairman of the Metrocrest 
Chamber of Commerce.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I recognize Michael 
Sanborn for receiving the Metrocrest Chamber of Commerce's ``Citizen of 
the Year'' award. I ask all of my distinguished colleagues to join me 
in recognizing his contributions to the Metrocrest community.
