Before this entrepreneurial venture, Peter Festus Egan served eight years as an administrator at a prestigious psychiatric hospital, garnering valuable experience overseeing intricate healthcare operations and ensuring patient well-being.
He has taken immense pride in developing his home health companies throughout his career. These companies expanded from modest beginnings to becoming influential presences in the local market, employing over 400 professionals across nine local offices. Their excellent local and regional reputation eventually led to their acquisition by a primary national provider.
His leadership and expertise in the healthcare field have been recognized through his service as a state home care association board member. He was also honored with the distinguished Hall of Honor award in 2019, acknowledging his contributions and achievements in the industry. In addition, he contributed to the home healthcare sector through his service on the Pharmacy Advisory Board of the Joint Commission for a decade, a commission that stands as the largest accrediting body for healthcare institutions in the country.
In addition to his professional accomplishments, he has been actively involved in philanthropic efforts. He currently supports James Samaritan, an organization that aids young people transitioning out of foster care, by working with a group that provides guidance and resources. Previously, he and his wife were actively involved with Safe Harbor, a nonprofit that offers shelter and support for women and children facing abuse. While their involvement has lessened, their dedication to impacting the lives of those in need remains a testament to their compassionate nature.
