A huge congratulations to Shyanne Cross, a 10th-grade student at Don Tyson School of Innovation! She was accepted as a delegate to the 2025 Congress of Future Medical Leaders and had a truly inspiring trip. While there, Shyanne was surrounded by Nobel Peace Prize winners, medical professionals from every field imaginable, and even patients whose lives were forever changed by modern medicine. She went to the conference with dreams of becoming a veterinarian, but thanks to this incredible experience, she's now also considering a career in the OB-GYN field. We can't wait to see what she accomplishes next! #SpringdaleFamily
