Hayley Arceneaux is a St. Jude Children's Research Hospital employee, bone cancer survivor and private astronaut who is now a physician assistant; she will join billionaire Jared Isaacman on SpaceX's first private spaceflight Inspiration4 slated to launch no earlier than the fourth quarter of 2021.[4] At age 29 (as of February 2021), Arceneaux could become the youngest American in space.[5]
Early life
She was raised in St. Francisville, Louisiana. When Hayley was 10 years old,[6] one of her knees began to ache. Her doctor thought it was just a sprain, but a few months later, tests revealed Hayley suffered from osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer. Her family turned to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for her treatment and care, which included around a dozen rounds of chemotherapy, a limb-preservation surgery with knee replacement and placement of a titanium rod in her left thigh bone along with associated physical therapy.[2] She is now finished with treatment and thriving. The experience inspired her to want to work with other cancer patients at St. Jude when she grew up – the very place that saved her life – as a PA with leukemia and lymphoma patients.[6]
Education
She obtained an undergraduate degree in Spanish in 2014, and obtained her Physician Assistant (PA) degree in 2016.[6]
Family
Her brother Hayden and her sister-in-law Liz Suttles are aerospace engineers.[3]
Personal endeavors
