Experts: Health care access a struggle for growing community

2015-20, according to the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 5-year estimates. Likewise, Magnolia’s two ZIP codes, 77354 and 77355, have seen a population increase of 17.7% and 18.5%, respectively, from 2015-20, according to census data. Despite the growth, HCA Houston Healthcare Tomball—a Level III trauma center—is the only hospital in Tomball and the closest hospital for those who live in western Magnolia. At the same time, however, HCA Houston ER 24/7 previously located at 18230 FM 1488, Magnolia, permanently closed May 25, according to signs posted on the doors. “You just don’t have the facilities, and they’re not located in the right places that will make it easier for some- one to get to,” said Timika Simmons,

CEO of TOMAGWA Healthcare Minis- tries, a nonprot clinic serving unin- sured and underinsured residents in Tomball, Magnolia and Waller. While census data shows the num- ber of health care and social service CONTINUED ON 26 "YOU JUST DON’T HAVE THE FACILITIES, AND THEY’RE NOT LOCATED IN THE RIGHT PLACES THAT WILL MAKE IT EASIER FOR SOMEONE TO GET TO.” TIMIKA SIMMONS, CEO OF TOMAGWA HEALTHCARE MINISTRIES

Tomball and Magnolia are grow- ing with more residents, trac, roads and commercial hubs, but health care experts said health care facilities are not keeping up with that pace. “People continue to move out here, but the number of new providers really hasn’t grown in proportion to what the growth is,” Magnolia Pharmacy owner Steve Hoart said. The populations of Tomball’s two ZIP codes, 77377 and 77375, increased 12.95% and 33.58%, respectively, from

things,” Riley said. Eventually, Nichols Sawmill Road will become a four-lane road all the way through the city of Magnolia to FM 1774, but Riley said the remaining widening project will have to be funded with another road bond. The goal is to have the widening complete, or at least 90% complete, by the time school starts in August, Riley said. There will be no detours, he said, but drivers may see some delays during construction.

the project, from Nichols Sawmill Elementary School to Old Hockley Road, is the most expensive portion. The widening will be brought up to Magnolia city limits. In addition, Riley said a bridge on Nichols Sawmill Road is being widened after the road widening is complete with an anticipated start around the end of summer. The two widening projects cost $2.8 million with $2 million funded by the commissioner’s budget and $800,000 from the county’s 2015 road bond—Precinct 2’s remaining bond funds. “We save a little money and run a tight ship so we can do these kinds of

construction projects in the Magnolia area this summer, including widen- ing Nichols Sawmill Road, Precinct 2 Commissioner Charlie Riley said in an interview. Work on the Nichols Sawmill Road expansion just south of the city of Magnolia started May 25, Riley said. The road will be widened from a two-lane road with no shoulders and no turn lane to two 12-foot lanes with a 3-foot shoulder on each side of the road and a 12-foot continuous left-turn lane down the middle. Riley said this 2-mile segment of

City Council denies changing plans for final Medical Complex Drive segment

A WORK IN PROGRESS The city has worked to extend Medical Complex Drive as an east-west corridor through the city over the years. Completed in May 2016 KEY: Completed in 2022 Contested segment

BY KAYLI THOMPSON

Tomball City Council voted unanimously to deny changing the plans for Medical Complex Drive at a May 16 meeting, which would have meant the final extension between Hufsmith-Kohrville and Mahaffey roads would not be completed. Council members said they did not want to give up yet on fully extending Medical Complex Drive all the way from west of Hwy. 249 to FM 2920. “Many cities wish they could have a bypass; unfortunately they are located on highways, and they can’t just because of the way they’re built and constructed. Tomball does have an option for the future,” Council Member Mark Stoll said. Harrisburg Homes requested the city amend its comprehensive plan and not extend Medical Complex Drive for a 0.9-mile segment between east of Hufsmith-Kohrville Road and south of Mahaffey Road, as it would cut through a development and, specifically, a house, according to Harrisburg

Homes Homebuilder Shawn Speer. Speer said he wanted to know if completing the Medical Complex Drive extension was still needed, because Harrisburg Homes is trying to make the area a place for Tomball residents to go with homes, shops and restaurants. If the extension continues, Harrisburg Homes will not be able to do that, the firm claimed.

Community Development Director Nathan Dietrich presented maps showing the projected segment would go through the front of a house. However, Dietrich said the road could be adjusted farther south, but there is a golf course to consider. According to the city, next steps for the extension would be determined by Harris County, as the remaining segment is outside city limits.

HIGHER EDUCATION Lone Star College System adds online campus, additional e-learning opportunities for fall 2022

LSC-ONLINE AT A GLANCE Lone Star College System’s eighth campus, LSC-Online, will be available for students in August. Online classes will also be available for out-of-district students.

Houston region. “I just think that COVID-[19] ... made more people interested in going online,” Fuller said. “There was a shift in student attitudes towards online learning.” Keshvala said target demograph- ics could include military personnel and eventual international options. LSC-Online will launch with what Keshvala said are the top transfer degrees, including Associate of Arts, Associate of Science and Associate of Arts in teaching degrees. Keshvala said the degrees earned by LSC-Online students will be transferable across Texas. As of June, the cost of enrolling at LSC-Online will be the same as attending any LSCS campus. Infor- mation from LSCS states the cost of enrolling for 12 credit hours in the fall 2022 semester is around $1,080 for an in-district student.

coronavirus pandemic drove home the need for additional virtual learning options. “We know students that were taking online classes prepandemic and then all of a sudden were forced to take them [online],” Keshvala said. “We are really trying to cater to the demand that we are seeing.” The campus will launch with 40 full-time staff members from within the college system, she said. Keshvala said the purpose of offering an online campus is to increase enrollment with students who may want to focus on an online education, including out-of- district students. Matthew Fuller, director of the Center for Assessment, Research and Educational Safety with Sam Houston State University, said LSCS’ decision to launch the online campus matches a trend around the

Starting in August, the Lone Star College System will launch its eighth campus as a way for students to receive their degrees entirely online. The college may be able to eventually offer its online offerings to students across the country and internationally in the future, officials said. According to an April 11 news release from LSCS, the new campus was added in response to demand for virtual learning, and it has been in the works for nearly a decade. LSCS officials said in an email that developing the new campus has added around $2 million to the system’s general existing budget, and it also expands the scope of its e-learning offerings. Seelpa Keshvala, LSCS executive vice chancellor and LSC-Online CEO, said in a phone interview the

TAKING STEPS FOR A BOND

The Magnolia ISD bond committee presented its recommended bond projects to the board May 16.

MAGNOLIA ISD The Magnolia ISD bond committee— which was made up of parents, community members and business owners—recommended a $230 million bond package to the board of trustees at its May 16 meeting, which could be called for a November election. The bond would not increase the tax rate for residents. The recommended projects include a ninth elementary school costing $41 million, a third middle school costing $66 million, a third junior high costing $85 million and $10 million toward land for future schools, according to the meeting presentation. Besides new facilities, the bond committee recommended improving current facilities and programs. This includes funds for expanding the career and technical education program at both high schools, renovations to the agricultural barn facility, renovations to the Junior Reserve Ocer’s Training Corps facility, technology infrastructure, and turf on the softball and baseball elds, according to the presentation. According to the presentation, demographics informa- tion shows Williams and Smith elementary schools are at more than 90% of their maximum capacity and will be over capacity in two years. A third high school will also be needed in ve years.

Total recommended package: $230M

Proposed projects include:

New buses; land; facility and program improvements

$66M for a middle school

$85M for a junior high school

$41M for an elementary school

According to the Texas secretary of state’s oce, trustees must call a November bond election no later than Aug. 22.

Counties look to reduce opioid overdoses

Council raises impact fees for developers

BY EMILY LINCKE & JISHNU NAIR

HARRIS & MONTGOMERY COUNTIES Commissioners in Harris and Montgomery counties announced initiatives in May to address opioid overdoses. Harris County approved an interlocal agreement with The University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston to study local efforts to reduce opioid overdoses May 24. Commissioners unanimously approved the agreement, which will receive a max- imum backing of $306,841 and last until Aug. 31, unless terminated earlier, according to the court’s May 24 agenda. “I think we could always make more invest- ments,” said Barbie Robinson, who serves as Harris County Public Health’s executive director. “I believe our behavioral health, substance abuse and mental health services are underfunded, given the prevalence in our county.” As previously reported by Community Impact Newspaper , opioid overdose deaths have steadily climbed in Texas during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, rising from 4,154 deaths in 2020 to 4,831 deaths in 2021, according to the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics. UTHealth Assistant Professor J. Michael Wilkerson will lead the evaluation, according to

RISING CONCERN Montgomery County commissioners are forming a task force to investigate fentanyl use in the county as drug-related deaths have risen in Texas. The Drug Enforcement Agency describes fentanyl as a synthetic opioid.

BY KAYLI THOMPSON

MAGNOLIA Magnolia City Council voted to raise its impact fees per single-family con- nection at a May 10 regular meeting, which raises the cost for new developments to tap into the city’s water systems. Impact fees are one-time fees collected to fund a new water user’s share of the city’s water or wastewater capacity, Community Impact Newspaper previously reported. City Administrator Don Doering said the impact fees were raised to $7,400 in total instead of $4,800 in total; the fee increase does not affect current customers, only new connections to the city’s systems. The increase went into effect as soon as council approved it May 10. These impact fees have not been raised since 2019, according to Doering. “The increase in need for additional capacity required multiple new water plants and wastewater treatment facilities. ... Impact fees are needed to fund these much- needed improvements,” Doering said in an interview.
