In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Traci Tillery, a nurse practitioner with a 34-year career who worked at Atrium Floyd Health. The resolution recounts how she started the first nurse-driven foot care clinic in the Floyd County area and later founded Stars Align Outreach, a nonprofit that runs a mobile foot clinic known as the Toe Truck, serving homeless residents and others in need through a partnership with the nonprofit Fork, Spoon, and Plate. The resolution also notes her role on a national nursing credentialing committee that writes exam questions for certification. It formally commends her for her dedication to the community and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for her. It does not change any Georgia law.
