Texas Woman’s
University
Student Group
Supports Former
Foster Kids
Melissa Tonn
Introduction
 A board-certified occupational medicine physician, Melissa Tonn serves as the
president and chief medical officer of OccMD Group, P.A., in Dallas, Texas. Aside
from her work managing occupational health programs for Dallas-based
businesses, Melissa Tonn lends support to former foster children through her
generous donation to Texas Woman’s University’s (TWU’s) emergency relief fund
for students who have aged out of foster care.
In order to support young people pursuing higher education who lack the financial
and emotional support offered by parents, TWU offers the Tonn financial assistance
for unforeseen emergencies as well as a student-led support organization called
Success for the Future. The student group offers a social support network and
mentorship to TWU students who have experienced foster care, homelessness, or
adoption.
Success for the Future partners with social services agencies such as the
Department of Family and Protective Services and school districts to offer guidance
to under-supported youth as they transition to adulthood and embark on higher
education. The group’s initiatives include events like birthday parties for impacted
students, group holiday meals, study breaks, and other relationship-building
activities.
