Lomax is a graduate of La Salle University and Hahnemann University Hospital, Philadelphia. In 1982, Lomax established Lomax Health Systems, Inc. (LHS), a management company contracting exclusively on health care recruiting physicians and physician assistants to supplement the city of Philadelphia's staff in the prison system. In an interesting twist of fate, in 1994, Dr. Lomax purchased the Jubilee Farm Plantation where his great grandmother was enslaved in King William County, Virginia.[3] The property, with its onsite graveyard(s), dates to c. 1732.
Recently, Lincoln University (Pennsylvania) honored him with Ph.D. in science for his various contributions to health facilities. Lomax is a former Trustee of La Salle University, and The Philadelphia Orchestra (emeritus).
