HR2110: HR2110 Tillery, Traci; 2026 Heart of Community Award of Honor recipient; commend

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honors Traci Tillery, a nurse practitioner with a 34-year career who worked at Atrium Floyd Health. It 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,' which serves homeless residents and others in need in partnership with the local group Fork, Spoon, and Plate. The resolution also notes her role on a national nursing credentialing committee that helps write exam questions. It does not change any law; it simply has the House formally recognize her as the 2026 Heart of Community Award of Honor recipient and directs the Clerk of the House to provide her a copy of the resolution.
