Charline Dauphin is Ex-Student of the Year<br />

Charline Dauphin attended <strong>Kilgore</strong> <strong>College</strong> from 1948-1950 and<br />

was a member of the 10th line of the <strong>Ranger</strong>ettes. While at <strong>Kilgore</strong><br />

<strong>College</strong> she met and eventually married Sidney “Chief” Dauphin, a<br />

football player at neighboring Tyler Junior <strong>College</strong>. She continued her<br />

education at East Texas State University. Charline was a stay at home<br />

mom to daughter Robin until 1969, when she and her husband opened<br />

Texas Home Health in Silsbee. By taking healthcare to the homes of<br />

patients and their families, she reinvented the way the healthcare system<br />

worked. Her dedication and success led to her appointment as the<br />

CEO of Texas Home Health, Inc.<br />

In 2000, Charline began a new adventure as a community activist<br />

and philanthropist. Because her family had experienced the devastating<br />

effects of cancer, she quickly turned her expertise to battle this<br />

disease.<br />

Dauphin established the Sidney “Chief” Dauphin Memorial Postdoctoral<br />

Fellowship Fund in 2002. The fund currently supports two<br />

postdoctoral fellows in epidemiology and clinical cancer prevention at<br />

the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. For her tireless work, M.D. Anderson in Houston dedicated<br />

and named its molecular epidemiology genotyping facility for Charline and Sidney “Chief” Dauphin. She<br />

still serves as a member of the board of directors at M.D. Anderson.<br />

She became involved in the Julie Rogers “Gift of Life” program that focuses on cancer screening and<br />

prevention. In May 2006, thanks to her generosity the dream became a reality with the grand opening of the<br />

Charline and Sidney “Chief” Dauphin Cancer Screening and Prevention Center. This “center of excellence” offers<br />

women throughout Southeast Texas access to the finest technology with the introduction of the area’s first<br />

and only digital mammography system. Providing state-of-the-art imaging that reduces mammogram time while<br />

increasing earlier detection of breast cancer, the Dauphin Center is designed with women in mind. The Center<br />

also offers tobacco cessation programs and genetic counseling, as well as a resource library to keep the public<br />

informed on the latest medical research and treatment options to assist in health care decisions.<br />

Additional honors include Hallsville High School Outstanding Alumni in 2004 and Silsbee Outstanding<br />

Citizen of the Year in 2007. <strong>Kilgore</strong> <strong>College</strong> is honored to name Charline Dauphin as our 2007 Ex-Student of<br />

the Year.<br />
