Shane Domingue, RPh

Advisory Board

HCL® Advisory Board member Shane Domingue, RPh, is a Corporate Health-System Director of Pharmacy in Youngsville, La. In his professional role, Domingue, who has served on HCL’s board for five years, is responsible for visiting hospital sites and providing interim pharmacy leadership including staffing, regulatory compliance and optimization of operations.

His traces his interest in medicine back to a family member who owned a retail pharmacy; however, he chose a slightly different focus while pursuing his degree at the University of Louisiana-Monroe (formerly Northeast Louisiana University).

 “I worked my way through school in a hospital pharmacy environment and enjoyed that aspect much more and found it more rewarding,” he said.

His enjoyment comes from the ability to change the lives of both patients and young professionals.

“The impact that the pharmacy profession has on our patient's lives from a clinical standpoint,” he explained. “I also enjoy watching the younger members of our profession grow into active participants within the profession.”

The COVID-19 pandemic affected healthcare and continues to pose a challenge for the industry. Domingue described the struggles from his viewpoint.

“During these post-pandemic times, I think the impact that COVID has had on staffing in all areas of healthcare has been the most challenging,” he said. “From the manufacturing impacts to medication availability to the department level availability of a skilled workforce with the hospital settings, (it has) been a struggle.”

Domingue many accomplishments for which he is proud, although the highlight, he said, is the ability to serve as a member of the Louisiana Society of Health-System Pharmacists Board of Directors and help preserve the profession within his state.

Sharing his passion with others and influencing the industry’s future is another noteworthy accomplishment.

“Becoming licensed in 17 different states has allowed me to bring best practices forward for consideration within our organization.”  

Away from the profession, Domingue said he enjoys fishing and traveling the countryside with his wife.
