Tomball Regional Health Foundation (TRHF) awarded $2.4 million to Lone Star College Foundation in support of LSC-Tomball students. The funds purchased equipment for two new programs, Medical Lab Technician and Dental Assistant, which started in fall 2022, and covered scholarships, certification and licensure fees and meningitis vaccinations. 

“We continue to appreciate the generous support shown to Lone Star College-Tomball by Tomball Regional Health Foundation,” said Lee Ann Nutt, Ed.D., LSC-Tomball President. “They continue to enable us to provide our students with the best opportunities and make our community a great place to live and work.” 

TRHF also funded a $100,000 endowment in memory of Lynn LeBouef, past LSC Foundation Board Member and former TRHF CEO. LSC-Tomball students enrolled in the lifePATH® program can apply for this financial support. 

LSC-Tomball lifePATH® is a four-year comprehensive model of post-secondary educational opportunities for students with disabilities that affect executive functioning. 

“Nursing  is another program at Lone Star College-Tomball that has greatly benefited from the relationship with the Tomball Regional Health Foundation,” said Lori Klein Quinn, city of Tomball Mayor and founding LSC Foundation board member. “The financial partnership between the Tomball Regional Health Foundation and Lone Star College is a wonderful example of incredible organizations within our community working together.” 

This partnership reflects the purpose of TRHF and benefits not only Lone Star College, but the entire community. 

“The mission of the Tomball Regional Health Foundation is to promote wellness and improve the health status for all residents in our community through programs that enhance access to health care, preventive care, and health education,” said Jeffrey Klein, Tomball Regional Health Foundation CEO (pictured with Petronila Arrey, LSC-Tomball student). “The programs we help fund at Lone Star College-Tomball fulfill this mission in many ways, so the TRHF is delighted to partner with LSC Foundation in supporting these programs.”
