In the role, Sacks is responsible for evaluating strategic opportunities and partnerships, developing relationships with donors and foundations, and serving as spokesperson for the organization, in addition to serving as the primary liaison to the HCCI board of directors.

She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in advertising from the University of Texas at Austin, and then earned a master’s degree in social work from the University of Texas at Arlington.
During Sacks’ tenure at HCCI, the organization has made significant strides toward creating universal access to house call programs and advocating on behalf of home-based primary care (HBPC). With Sacks’ support, the organization participated in a campaign that resulted in the continuation of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Independence at Home Medicare Demonstration and development of new payment models for home-based care.
