Texas Chiropractic College is proud to announce the establishment of the Dr. Sandra K. Hughes Book Award, sponsored by Dr. Hughes, a TCC alumna, and her husband; and TCC Board of Regents member Ken Cauthorn. The $500 award will be available beginning with the fall 2010 entering class.
This new award will be offered to one entering student at the beginning of each trimester. Selection for the award will be based on academic achievement, with a minimum eligibility of a 3.25 cumulative grade point average at the time of entrance. An essay from the applicants on why they deserve the award is also required for consideration.
Dr. Hughes graduated from TCC in 1994 and opened a practice in El Paso, where she worked for seven years while also teaching high-school science. She returned to Houston in 2001 and returned to her alma mater in 2003 as the director of admissions. She left admissions in 2009 to return to teaching high-school physics.
"As a former TCC student and admissions director, I've always been aware and sympathetic to the many challenges of new DC students," said Dr. Hughes. "I am thrilled that Ken and I have this opportunity to give back to TCC, and hopefully give a new student a better start to their chiropractic career."
Cauthorn is the president of Hampton Tax Group. His business works primarily with the health care industry, especially with doctors of chiropractic, helping small businesses with tax and financial planning.
"I know how hard Sandy worked to help new students get ready to start their studies at TCC while she was the admissions director," shared Cauthorn. "We are happy to now be in a position to help these students."

When sports chiropractors first appeared at the Olympic Games in the 1980s, it was alongside individual athletes who had experienced the benefits of chiropractic care in their training and recovery processes at home. Fast forward to Paris 2024, where chiropractic care was available in the polyclinic for all athletes, and the attitude has now evolved to recognize that “every athlete deserves access to sports chiropractic."
It is estimated that 61% of patients with CTS avoid taking surgical options due to postoperative complications and costly surgical procedures. Chiropractic care offers a comprehensive and effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, addressing the condition from multiple angles. Recent studies also have unveiled a game-changing adjunct to chiropractic treatments for CTS: nerve flossing.
Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?
