Peter Festus Egan
Peter Festus Egan, alongside his wife, Dr. Pamela Egan, founded Egan Home Health Hospice in 1988, a venture that burgeoned over 32 years, growing to include nine local offices and employing over 400 individuals. The company earned a stellar reputation in local and regional healthcare markets, eventually catching the attention of a large national provider that acquired it.
Before this successful enterprise, he was an eight-year administrator for a prestigious psychiatric hospital, where he honed his skills in managing complex healthcare operations and safeguarding patient well-being.
Throughout his career, he has achieved numerous milestones. He is particularly proud of his home health companies, which grew from humble beginnings to a significant local presence. With nine regional offices, employing more than 400 professionals, the companies garnered an excellent reputation locally and regionally, leading to their acquisition by a large national provider.
His leadership and expertise in the healthcare industry are evident. He served as a state home care association board member, an acknowledgment of his understanding of the field. His contributions and achievements were recognized in 2019 with the prestigious Hall of Honor award.
His contributions to the healthcare sector are not limited to home care. He served on the Pharmacy Advisory Board of the Joint Commission for ten years. The Joint Commission is the country's largest healthcare accrediting body, setting standards for all levels of healthcare delivery.
Beyond his professional pursuits, he actively engages in philanthropic activities. He currently participates in James Samaritan, an organization that supports young people who age out of foster care. He is part of a group that provides guidance and resources to these individuals as they transition into independent adult life.
He and his wife were once active participants in Safe Harbor, an organization providing shelter for women and children in abusive situations. Though their involvement has decreased, their dedication to impacting the lives of those who need it most is still evident.
