Secretary – Carolynn Trochesset, RN

Mrs. Trochesset was born and raised in Galveston, Texas, where she spent many of her weekends, when she was old enough to be a strong swimmer, helping her Dad on his shrimp boat.  Mrs. Trochesset spent summers on a ranch in the Texas hill country where she eventually taught riverfront/boating/water skiing, and subsequently worked as director of that facility.  Her ideal day-off activity there was swimming her Tennessee Walker in the Medina on a hot afternoon!

After completing pre-requisites at the University of Texas at Austin, Mrs. Trochesset attended and graduated from St. Mary’s School of Nursing and passed the required State Board Exams to be able to acquire licensing as a registered nurse.  Her varied nursing experiences have been a continuing education:

1. Mid to late ‘60s – Staff nurse, Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children, Houston/Orthopedics.  Wonderful hospital!
2. Late ‘60s to early ‘70s – Office/surgical scrub nurse for orthopedic surgeons.  Busy practice.
3. …moved to El Paso per husband’s job transfer
4. January 1979-June 2006 – Director of Health Services, Tomball Independent School District.  Working with children has been her passion, but to couple that with the opportunity to work with the outstanding educators in Tomball ISD …”PRICELESS”!!!

From a school nurse perspective, having experienced how valuable to the community Northwest EMS is, Mrs. Trochesset felt honored to be invited into this organization as a Board member.  She feels this is an amazing professional organization whose employees work their hardest to provide and continually improve the medical care required by those in need. 

 Mrs. Trochesset believes they do so much for so many, and do it all so well!  She has a sweatshirt that exemplifies the 24/7 activity of Northwest EMS.  It says:  “Life is simple.  Eat.  Sleep.  Save Lives.”  Yes, they do eat…when they have time;  they do get some sleep…sometime; but, spending just one shift on one of the units will quickly tell you it is FAR from simple. 

A personal note from Carolynn: Congratulations to Northwest EMS for the strong, professional example you set and provide to the Tomball community.  It is certainly my pleasure to work with you.

Although my nursing profession will always be dear to my heart, as through the years it has offered me the opportunity to meet and work with many individuals and organizations, I must say that my three greatest accomplishments are my children. 

Their continuous, outstanding achievements keep me young and living on… Carolynn
