medicine since 2005. Board-certified as an adult/family
nurse practitioner and holding a diploma in anti-
aging/functional medicine, Dr. Egan is more than a

for men, women and children. Her commitment to
advancing her knowledge is evident in her extensive

two Master’s degrees specializing in
gerontology/mental health and metabolic/nutritional
medicine, and Certification as a diabetes educator.
Having trained under Thierry Hertoghe, MD, in
Belgium, Dr. Egan continues to refine her expertise.
Recently, she achieved certification in Peptide

of becoming a nurse, which has evolved into a profound
passion for healthcare. Driven by a commitment to
staying abreast of the latest medical literature and
research, she has dedicated over 40 years to clinical
practice, emerging as a leading expert in clinical
nutrition and Diabetes.
In her own words, Dr. Egan shares, “I want to help
patients become educated on self-responsibility for their
health.” This commitment led her to a Fellowship in
Metabolic and Nutritional Medicine, an experience she
credits with broadening her perspective on global
research. Dr. Egan’s vision extends beyond individual
care—she aspires to address the broader issues of
obesity, metabolic disease and diabetes prevalent in the

blood work aiming to pinpoint nutritional co-factor
deficiencies, inflammation, or hormone imbalances that
impact overall health.
With a focus on natural balance, Dr. Egan emphasizes,
“Our goal is to balance the body naturally before resorting
to prescription medication.” Her approach challenges the
conventional reliance on medications by recognizing
the potential pitfalls of a cycle where one medicine
counters the side effects of another. As she articulates,

further imbalance.” At EGAN Wellness Clinic & Med Spa,
the team collaborates with patients, equipping them
with the tools needed to restore optimum function and
break free from the cycle of medication dependency.
Dr. Egan’s commitment to holistic balance is a guiding

therapy, shaping her practice around cutting-edge
research and scientific evidence. This dedication is
deeply personal, as she candidly shares, “My own
journey was not by accident, it was God’s plan for me to
help others regain their health and vitality.” Driven by her
own struggles with hormone imbalance after a Tubal
Ligation at 35, Dr. Egan embarked on a mission to
comprehend every facet of hormone replacement to
preserve her well-being.
15. Her commitment to sharing this transformative
knowledge is manifested in her book, ‘Managing
Menopause with Bio-Identical Hormones.’ Dr. Egan’s book
is not just an exploration of the safety and quality of life
associated with Bio-Identical Hormones—it enlightens
readers about her resilience and is a guide for others
seeking to reclaim their health. As she states, “It is truly
a revolutionary experience for them.” The book
encapsulates her research by offering readers a
valuable resource to navigate the complexities of
hormone replacement with confidence and informed
decision-making.
Radiance Redefined
Elevate your well-being at Egan Med Spa, where the
fusion of looking good and feeling good is seamlessly

transformative journey with a range of skin care
services and procedures. As she eloquently puts it, “For

offers an array of options including laser and
radiofrequency treatments, micro-dermabrasion,
chemical peels, specialized facials, collagen treatments,
Botox, and facial fillers.
At Egan Med Spa, the commitment to holistic well-
being extends beyond external treatments. Dr. Egan
emphasizes, “Organic skin care lines and pharmaceutical
grade nutritional supplements are available to treat the
body inside and out.” This comprehensive approach
aligns with the spa’s tagline, ‘Look Good & Feel Good,’
encapsulating the essence of their mission to enhance
both the outer radiance and inner vitality of every
individual.
Leading with Heart
Dr. Egan has made a profound impact on her
community through extensive volunteer work.
Reflecting her commitment to service, she held
significant roles such as the president of the Junior
League of Covington and Safe Harbor, a domestic
violence shelter.

to her community in a variety of volunteer capacities,”
showcasing a deep-seated commitment to the
betterment of the community she serves.
A Duo’s Dedication

beyond the wellness center. Recently, her husband,
Peter Egan, was elected State Representative in their
district amplifying their commitment to fostering a
healthier Louisiana. In Dr. Egan’s words, “Egan’s mission
is to bring people to optimum health,” and Peter’s role on
the healthcare committee in the LA House of
Representatives aligns seamlessly with this mission.
With over 40 years of healthcare experience, Peter is
poised to make a significant impact on the committee,
contributing to the betterment of Louisiana’s
healthcare landscape.
16. The Egan duo’s shared commitment reflects their
holistic approach not only within their wellness center
but also in actively shaping policies for a healthier state.
Family, Healthcare and a Legacy
Through Pam and Peter’s desire to help others, Egan
Healthcare Services was born. What began on the
dining room table of their Metairie home grew to nine
locations and 400 employees. The company was
nationally recognized for its cost efficiency, length of
stay and outcomes while it reached the TOP 100 in
quality of care as compared to nearly 8000 agencies
nationwide in the Home Care Elite list of Outcome
Concept Systems.
Dr. Egan states, “With a focus on empowering patients to
take an active role in their recovery, we provided the highest
quality level of intervention that resulted in outcomes that
were consistently higher than both state and national
averages.”
Their licensed private-duty company,
Egan At-Home is located in Metairie,
Louisiana and currently serves the
Southshore. In addition to Healthcare
Administration, Rep Egan served as a
Hospital Administrator for Depaul
Hospital in New Orleans and is a
Certified Substance Abuse Counselor.
The Egan’s attribute their success to
having been blessed with hundreds of
dedicated, caring and compassionate
employees throughout the years.
“Our employees are a treasure to us and
share the philosophy of providing the
highest quality healthcare possible.”
According to the Egan’s, they moved to
Covington, Louisiana to raise their
family of four children and now seven
grandchildren with one on the way.
Their home is on 22 acres and backs up
to the St. Joseph’s Abbey. (They have
horses, dogs and cats) They enjoy
going to the beach on the Gulf coast,
snowboarding and white water rafting
in Gatlinburg, with frequent trips to
Ireland where Peter is from. She tries
to instill in her children and
grandchildren the importance of maintaining honesty,
integrity and a good work ethic. Another piece of
advice often heard by her grandchildren is, “Don’t forget
to take your vitamins.”
Decades of Dedication
With a remarkable four decades in healthcare,
including the authorship of a book and twelve
consecutive years as Northshore’s Best Holistic
Doctor/Practitioner, Dr. Egan shows no signs of slowing
down. In her own words, “I love what I do and am pleased
to offer cutting-edge interventions for our patients.” Dr.
Egan’s enduring passion and commitment to providing
cutting-edge interventions underscore her relentless
pursuit of excellence. This commitment is not only
reflected in her extensive career but also in the
numerous accolades that recognize her as a leader in
holistic healthcare making her a trusted and revered
figure in the field.
18. The Emergence of
in the
Women
STEM Field
cience, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) fields have long been
Sdominated by men, with women historically underrepresented.
However, it is vital to encourage and inspire girls to pursue STEM
education and careers. Females aren't considering technology careers as
they aren't given enough information on what working in the sector involves
and also because no one is ready to provide it as well. Despite all of the
barriers to having gender diversity in the tech industry, there are ways to
close the gender gap, such as providing more information on what working in
the sector involves and increasing inclusivity in the workplace. By
dismantling gender stereotypes, providing access to resources and
mentorship and fostering a supportive environment, we can create a future
where women thrive and contribute to the exciting world of STEM.
This article explores the importance of promoting women in STEM, highlighting the
challenges they face and discussing strategies to encourage girls to enter these
fields.
The Importance of Women in STEM:
Diverse Perspectives and Innovation:
Inclusion of women in STEM brings diverse perspectives, experiences and
approaches to problem-solving, fostering innovation. Different viewpoints
enrich research, product development and technological advancements,
leading to more comprehensive and groundbreaking solutions.
Industry Transformations
Feb 2024 | 16 | womenworldmagazine.com
19. Economic Growth and Global
Competitiveness:
Encouraging women to
pursue STEM careers is
crucial for economic growth
and global competitiveness.
With technology rapidly
evolving, a diverse STEM
workforce ensures diverse
skill sets, creativity and
adaptability, propelling
industries forward and
positioning nations at the
forefront of innovation.
Barriers and Challenges
Gender Stereotypes and Bias:
Societal stereotypes
perpetuate the notion that
STEM fields are more suitable
for men, creating a barrier for
girls considering STEM
education and careers.
Gender bias, both explicit and
implicit, influences career
choices, representation and
opportunities for women in
these fields.
Feb 2024 | 17 | womenworldmagazine.com
20. Lack of Role Models and Mentors:
The absence of visible female role models and mentors
in STEM can hinder girls' aspirations. Access to
successful women in STEM who can share their
experiences, provide guidance and serve as inspiration
is crucial for breaking down barriers and encouraging
girls to pursue these fields.
Strategies for Encouraging Girls in STEM
Early Exposure and Education:
• Promoting STEM in Schools: Schools should
incorporate STEM education early on, fostering
curiosity and interest among girls. This can be
achieved through hands-on experiments, engaging
activities and inclusive teaching methods that
debunk stereotypes and highlight the real-world
applications of STEM.
• Encouraging Parental Support: Parents play a
vital role in shaping girls' perceptions of STEM.
Encouraging parental involvement and providing
resources for parents to support their daughters'
STEM interests can help girls overcome any self-
doubt and empower them to pursue their
passions.
Breaking Stereotypes and Challenging Bias:
• Promoting Positive STEM Role Models:
Highlighting successful women in STEM through
media, guest lectures and industry showcases can
inspire girls by demonstrating that women can
thrive in these fields. Additionally, featuring
diverse female scientists, engineers and
technologists in educational materials can
challenge stereotypes and create relatable role
models.
• Addressing Bias in Education and Hiring:
Educational institutions and organizations should
actively combat bias in STEM education and hiring
practices. Implementing blind evaluation
processes, fostering gender-neutral classroom
environments and addressing implicit biases
among educators and recruiters are crucial steps
towards creating equal opportunities for girls and
women in STEM.
Creating Supportive Communities and Networks
Mentorship Programs and Networking
• Establishing Mentorship Programs: Mentorship
programs connect girls and young women with
professionals in STEM, providing guidance,
support and advice. These programs cultivate a
sense of belonging, boost confidence, and facilitate
knowledge-sharing and career development.
• Building Networks and Support Communities:
Creating safe spaces for girls and women in STEM,
such as clubs, societies and online communities,
fosters a supportive network where they can
connect, share experiences and find
encouragement. These communities provide
resources, mentorship opportunities and a sense
of community, empowering girls throughout their
STEM journeys.
Advocacy and Collaboration
Collaboration between Education and Industry:
• Partnerships with Corporations: Collaboration
between educational institutions and industry
partners allows for exposure to real-world
applications of STEM. Engaging with companies
through internships, apprenticeships and industry-
led initiatives helps bridge the gap between
academic learning and industry demands.
Advocacy for Policy Changes:
• Encouraging Policy Support: Advocating for
policies that promote gender equality in STEM
education and workplaces is crucial. This includes
advocating for increased funding for STEM
programs, promoting diversity in research grants
and pushing for policies that support work-life
balance and parental leave.
Encouraging girls to pursue STEM education and
careers is essential for fostering innovation, driving
economic growth and achieving gender equality. By
breaking down stereotypes, providing early exposure,
nurturing supportive environments and fostering
mentorship, we can inspire the next generation of
women in STEM. Embracing diversity and inclusivity in
these fields will not only benefit individual women but
also propel society forward by harnessing the full
potential of talented and passionate girls in the exciting
world of science, technology, engineering and math.

competitive and responsive to market dynamics.
Empowerment and Mentorship:
Women in leadership often prioritize the development

engage in mentoring and empowering their employees,
particularly women, to reach their full potential. This
dedication to nurturing talent cultivates a strong sense

Focus on Work-Life Balance:
A commitment to work-life balance is another
characteristic strength exhibited by women leaders. By
advocating for and supporting a healthy work-life
equilibrium, they promote employee well-being and
overall productivity. This approach fosters a more
engaged workforce, reducing burnout and increasing
job satisfaction.
Empathy and Compassion:
Women leaders are often empathetic and
compassionate, allowing them to understand the needs
and concerns of their team members on a personal
level. This quality enables them to create a supportive
and nurturing environment, where employees feel
valued, cared for, and understood. By demonstrating
genuine concern for their team's well-being, women
leaders can foster strong bonds and loyalty among their
employees.
Visionary Leadership:
Women often possess a visionary outlook, capable of
envisioning long-term goals and objectives for their
organizations. They tend to consider the broader
impact of their decisions on stakeholders and society.
This forward-thinking approach helps organizations
align their strategies with a more sustainable and
inclusive future.
Humility and Humbleness:
Humility is a key attribute that sets women apart in
leadership positions. They tend to acknowledge the
contributions of their team and recognize that success
is a collective effort. This humility fosters a culture of
appreciation and support, where everyone's efforts are
acknowledged, and achievements are celebrated
together.
Relationship Building:
Women leaders excel at building and nurturing
professional relationships. They prioritize networking
and collaboration, which often leads to fruitful
partnerships and opportunities. Strong relationships
with clients, suppliers, and other stakeholders
contribute to the organization's growth and reputation.
Ethical Decision-Making:
Ethics and integrity are crucial components of effective
leadership. Women leaders often demonstrate a strong
commitment to ethical decision-making, ensuring that
their actions align with the organization's values and
principles. This ethical approach fosters trust among
employees and stakeholders, enhancing the
organization's reputation and credibility.
Diversity and Inclusion Advocacy:
Women leaders are more likely to champion diversity
and inclusion initiatives within their organizations.
They understand the significance of a diverse
workforce in driving innovation and creativity. By
actively promoting diversity in hiring and promoting
practices, they create environments that embrace
different perspectives and backgrounds.
