Elan Ballesteros

Elan Canlapan, BSN, RN, is a dedicated registered nurse who graduated with her Bachelor of Science in Nursing in April 2010. Coming from a long line of nurses, caring for others has always felt natural to her. She chose this profession because she genuinely enjoys helping people heal and feel better, and she finds deep pride and fulfillment in being part of her patients’ successful recoveries and making a positive, lasting difference in their daily lives. Elan loves the meaningful connections she builds and the opportunity to support people through their health journeys with compassion and skill. Outside of work, she unwinds by crafting, cooking, and baking with her two amazing kids and creating cherished memories and quality time together is one of her greatest joys. She also enjoys traveling with her family to experience new places, cultures, and foods. Her favorite comfort foods include Thai dishes like crispy duck panang curry and fresh Hawaiian poke, vibrant, flavorful meals that always bring comfort. Elan is a proud mom, and her children are her biggest “why,” inspiring her to show up as her best self every day. She chose St. Agatha because it’s a small, nurse-built company where the team is truly compassionate, accommodating, and committed to going above and beyond for both patients and staff. Elan wants every patient to know they are in good hands and always treated with respect, understanding, genuine care, and the highest quality support. Her background in acute care has given her a broader perspective on managing health, allowing her to deliver even more well-rounded, thoughtful care at St. Agatha.
