For our May Service Spotlight, we are proud to recognize Physical Therapist Assistant student Brycen Bell for his service with the YMCA's Brain and Body program, which supports individuals living with Parkinson's Disease.
As part of a service-learning course, Brycen volunteered alongside YMCA staff and participants, helping individuals stay active, engaged, and connected through movement and exercise. Under the guidance of Amy Roux, LIVESTRONG Project Manager at the YMCA, Brycen assisted participants during walking drills, sit-to-stands, balance exercises, and other activities by offering verbal cues, mobility support, and encouragement.
Reflecting on the experience, Brycen shared that his favorite part was getting to know the participants and hearing their stories. He was inspired by their determination and by the way the class helps them stay active, connected, and engaged despite the challenges of Parkinson's Disease.
Amy noted the important role Clarkson College students play in the program, explaining that volunteers provide valuable extra support for participants while also gaining firsthand experience understanding Parkinson's Disease and the impact exercise and social connection can have on quality of life.
Brycen's service demonstrates the compassion, encouragement, and hands-on care that are at the heart of the healthcare profession. We are grateful for the difference he is making in the lives of others through his time and dedication.
