Belmont University alumni Evan and Jenny Owens have created a nonprofit organization to help soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan renew their relationships with God.
Reboot Recovery began in the couple’s living room as a supplement to counseling and medical treatment that veterans. In February it relocated to Fort Campbell military base.
“They fight in a war oversees and come home and expect things to continue as normal, but then they are fighting a war in other battles. If you come from a spiritual perspective, then we are talking about Satan,” said Jenny, an occupational therapist in the military base’s traumatic brain injury clinic. “They feel like God is judging them, and they can’t fit into a traditional church congregation because of their experiences. It is amazing how God works and how Reboot Recovery has grown beyond what we envisioned for it.”
The class has blossomed into a 12-week group program for soldiers, their spouses and children to talk about symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and how to view them through a spiritual lens. Each session begins with a home-cooked meal and anecdotal story that leads to Evan’s lecture. They use the Bible and “The Combat Trauma Healing Manual: Christ-centered Solutions for Combat Trauma” by Chris Adsit as a workbook.

Belmont alumna Carla Wood was recently appointed to president of Altos Solutions, a web-based software company specializing in community-based oncology practices.
“Carla Wood brings to our company an impressive experience in both the oncology industry in general and in Altos Solutions specifically, “ said co-founder and CEO of Altos Solutions, John Willey II. “Her thorough knowledge of customer needs and the oncology industry are a perfect fit for leading Altos to greater product development and market share.”
Wood has had her share of contributions during her time at Altos. She assisted in establishing both the customer support and training departments, while working closely with the product development team. She pioneered the use of electronic medical record (EMR)-based alerts to provide on-label clinical information directly to the physician, as well as defined and managed the first certification of an oncology EMR.
“Throughout my tenure at Altos, I’ve seen the leading edge thinking and product development to which the company is committed,” Woods said. “I am looking forward to leading Altos Solutions in the ongoing enhancement of cancer care in the U.S.”
Wood received her first degree at Belmont in 1985, then continued on to the University of Memphis for her B.S. and M.S. in psychology. Although Wood stayed in Memphis and worked in oncology for 13 years she says she still considers Belmont her college home.
