I started Armonia after working over 30 years throughout the nursing spectrum from Pediatrics to adult care and working in administration for the last 20 years. I felt there could be improvement in the care provided to home health patients and wanted to provide that higher quality care, along with a friendly, professional environment for skilled staff.
Armonia means harmony. I chose it because I wanted to convey the importance of teamwork in all that we do. Working in harmony with the staff, patients and their families is key to ensuring our patients are treated with dignity and assisted in achieving a positive quality of life.
