Meet our Board President, Missy!

Her journey with science, healthcare, and helping kids is truly full circle. ✨🦖❤️

As a child, Missy was a patient at Shriners Children’s. Today, she helps lead FDC and create experiences that inspire the next generation.

So, what keeps her serving?

“There’s something so special about being part of a place where you can help shape what’s possible for the next generation. Watching kids get curious, try something new, and realize they can be anything they want to be, that’s what keeps me here.”

Shriners Children’s recently shared Missy’s story. Read it → https://www.shrinerschildrens.org/en/news-and-media/patient-stories/2026/08/missy-orthopedic-care
