                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 6, 2026

  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to extend my sincere 
congratulations to Dr. Jack Sternberg on his induction to the Arkansas 
Walk of Fame.
  The first oncologist in Arkansas, Dr. Sternberg is a pioneer of 
cancer care in our state. Fondly known by his patients as ``Dr. Jack,'' 
his dedication to serving the people of his community goes far beyond a 
white coat; it's rooted deeply in his heart. His true character has 
been evident through the impactful relationships he's built within the 
community he's served for so long. For decades, Dr. Jack's work has 
gone beyond clinical care to provide a more personal approach, guiding 
each patient and their family through an incredibly difficult chapter 
with tenderness and tailored care. He didn't just want to be their 
doctor; he wanted to be their friend.
  His compassionate heart led him to serve as a volunteer doctor for 
the VA after his retirement in 2006, acting as an overflow physician 
who quickly became a beloved figure at the clinic. Dr. Jack would 
likely also appreciate my mentioning how deeply his faith has impacted 
his life. Guided by his faith, his belief in God illuminates every 
corner of his life--from each patient he encountered to the pieces of 
literature he has written.
  I am proud to recognize Dr. Jack today for the lasting impact he has 
made not only in his own community but also throughout the entire state 
of Arkansas. His induction to the Arkansas Walk of Fame is a testament 
to the trust placed in him by his patients and community, establishing 
him as a champion for health and healing across the Natural State.
