                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JOHN GARAMENDI

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 10, 2024

  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Ms. Sherri 
Sager for her critical accomplishments as Senior Vice President and 
Chief Government Relations Officer at Stanford Medicine Children's 
Health and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. Throughout Ms. Sager's 
29 years of service, she demonstrated a sincere commitment to 
advocating for children and families and worked tirelessly to improve 
America's healthcare system for all.
  Ms. Sager first joined Stanford Medicine Children's Health and Lucile 
Packard Children's Hospital in 1994, as the Director of Government 
Relations. Throughout her tenure, Ms. Sager's vast knowledge of public 
policy and her indispensable leadership made her a critical advocate 
for Stanford Medicine Children's Health patients. She was pivotal in 
facilitating community partnerships and was committed to monitoring the 
impact that proposed laws and public policies could have on American 
patients.
  Ms. Sager exemplifies the spirit of leadership and altruism in all 
areas of her life. She has served on numerous nonprofit and regional 
business association boards, including as Board Chair of the San Mateo 
County Economic Development Association, board member of the Menlo Park 
Chamber of Commerce, and member of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group 
Working Council.
  Ms. Sager's advocacy for patients and their families and her 
commitment to community service clearly demonstrate that her work to 
improve the lives of others expands beyond her position with Stanford 
Medicine. Ms. Sager's devotion to service has undeniably improved the 
healthcare landscape in Northern California and beyond.
  While her presence in the Stanford Medicine community will surely be 
missed. Ms. Sager's 29 years of service have left a lasting legacy and 
significantly enhanced the lives of countless patients, families, and 
healthcare professionals. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude 
to Ms. Sager for her service and wish her the best in her future 
endeavors.
