Kim Egan, Clinical Program Specialist, Children’s Residential Program
"Working at Little City provides the opportunity to experience the wonderful possibilities that exist in everyday life. The personal satisfaction I feel when a child experiences something new for the first time or learns a new skill is what makes this more than a job to me. When I see the potential of what these individuals can accomplish, it allows me to see the world in different ways each day."
Kim has succeeded in helping numerous Little City children reach their various life treatment goals. One recent success story includes a teenage ward of the state who suffered medical issues stemming from obesity. Kim assisted in developing a weight loss plan that included a Healthy Choice diet and much exercise enabling the young man to lose more than 100 pounds while at Little City. Kim has her Master's in Social Work (MSW) and is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).
