                         Monday, April 22, 2019

  Mr. CROW. Madam Speaker, it is my honor today to recognize the 
accomplishments of Ms. Susan Hicks, MN, RN, who will be honored by the 
Chamber of Northwest Douglas County as a ``Woman Who Soars.''
  Ms. Hicks has been an integral member of the Sky Ridge Medical Center 
in Lone Tree, serving as a part of their Executive Team since its 
opening in 2003. Her experience as a nurse for over 30 years brought 
fresh perspectives to the Sky Ridge team that were instrumental in 
transforming Sky Ridge into a destination facility for care. Due to her 
hard work and dedication, she was promoted from her role of Chief 
Operating Officer to Chief Executive Officer in August of 2014.
  She currently serves as a board member of both the Denver South 
Economic Development Partnership and the Colorado Hospital Association. 
She is a past board member of the HCA Hope Fund and First Commercial 
Bank as well as a graduate of Leadership Douglas County.
  Through her leadership positions, Susan has had an incredibly 
positive impact on the community. Her success in the corporate health 
care field has inspired many other women in the Chamber and Economic 
Development circles in the community.
  A major contributor and inspiration to the community, I can think of 
only a few others deserving of this honor, and I congratulate Ms. Hicks 
for receiving the recognition as a ``Woman Who Soars.''
