Teddy gets a check-up

The staff of Egan Home Healthcare in LaPlace has been trying to do their part and give back to the community. Recently the Wee Care Center at First Baptist Church hosted their second annual “Teddy Bear Clinic.”

Egan nurses Gina Cancienne, Jennifer Brady, Laura Cancienne and Codi Heltz along with other local healthcare professionals helped to administer “check ups” on the student’s stuffed animals. The check ups included listening to heart beats, taking temperatures, giving shots and bandaging their “boo-boos.”

“We really enjoy when we are able to give a little back to the community we care for. Egan Home Healthcare has served this area for over 20 years, our nurses, therapist and aides live in the community who they work, which makes being involved so special!” says Egan Marketer Marci Ayme-Jeandron.
