A list of 23 state board appointments released by Gov. Nathan Deal’s office on Friday included a Gwinnett connection.
The governor reappointed Snellville resident Craig Knowles to the Georgia Board of Massage Therapy. Knowles has been on the board since he was first appointed by Deal in 2013 and serves as its chairman. He is a licensed massage therapist, having received national certification in 2000 and receiving his Georgia license in 2007.
He opened Knowles Rehabilitation in 2009.
Knowles is a member of the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards’ board of directors and the lead instructor at Gwinnett College’s Rising Spirit Institute. He has also served the National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork in various capacities.
He graduated from Siena Heights University with a bachelor’s degree in applied science and healthcare management.
Gwinnett Democrats elect new officers
The Gwinnett County Democratic Party elected new officers this past week to lead the group.
The party announced on its Facebook page that Gabe Okoye was elected as the party’s new chairman, Cheryl Williams will serve as first vice-chairwoman, Chuck Johnson will be the second vice-chairman and Francine Burrell will be the secretary.
Perdue hails proposed innovative treatment for injured veterans
U.S. Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga., called a medical treatment at the heart of bipartisan legislation he has co-introduced a potential “new standard” in treating PTSD and other serious brain injuries sustained by veterans this past week.
The No Heroes Left Untreated Act, which Perdue introduced with Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., earlier this month, would create a medical innovation pilot program at two Veterans Administration medical centers. Fifty veterans would receive magnetic EEG/ECG-guided resonance therapy for one year as part of the program.
“Our veterans sacrificed everything to defend our freedoms and it is our responsibility to make sure they get the care they were promised,” Perdue said in a statement. “The No Heroes Left Untreated Act would establish a pilot program that explores innovative treatment options touted by many leaders in our active forces community.
“If successful, this pilot program could set a new treatment standard for veterans dealing with traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder.”
