This resolution honors Beverly Bell, a physical therapy assistant and founder of Optimum Hope!, a nonprofit wellness recovery program for individuals with Parkinson's disease in Tennessee. The resolution recognizes Bell's distinguished 31-year career as a physical therapist assistant and her creation of Optimum Hope! in 2016 to address a gap in therapy options for Parkinson's patients in Wilson County. Starting with just five members and no salary, Bell has grown the organization to serve over 65 participants, teaching multiple classes per week at various locations and holding specialized certifications in Parkinson's wellness and treatment. The resolution highlights her extensive volunteer work, including supporting the Mount Juliet Parkinson's Support Group and participating in Moving Day Nashville, and commends her for inspiring Tennesseans affected by Parkinson's disease to persevere and rebuild confidence. The Tennessee General Assembly formally recognizes Bell's dedicated service and extends best wishes for her continued success.
