We were lucky to catch up with Kortnie Harris recently and have shared our conversation below.
Kortnie, appreciate you joining us today. We’d love to hear the backstory of how you established your own practice.
After completing my Master’s degree, I worked at a Home Health Agency in Miami, FL and decided that I would like to own and operate my own agency in the future.
I sought and earned an the opportunity to complete an Administrator In Training (AIT) program at a Skilled Nursing Facility in Denver, Colorado, and subsequently became a Licensed Nursing Home Administrator. In 2018, I decided to bet on myself and move home to follow my dreams of creating my own business.
I used the skills and knowledge gained in the healthcare industry to create Harmonious Home Health, LLC, a licensed and accredited agency in Miami, FL. Although I was familiar with the industry, business formation was new to me and required tons of research.
Knowing what I know now, I would not have it any other way. I enjoyed the process and all of its ebbs and flows. I would advise anyone wishing to embark on this journey to do extensive research and to mentally prepare themselves for triumphs and trials.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Have you ever had to pivot?
A major challenge of ours has been providing healthcare services in a global pandemic where staffing shortages have become commonplace. During this time pivoting became a necessary skill as fears related to the pandemic peaked. As a result, we began to offer Covid-19 testing to our staff and clientele and continued to provide the necessary education to combat those fears.
Do you have any insights you can share related to maintaining high team morale?
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If you maintain this line of thinking I believe you will be able to manage your team fairly and effectively. Fair treatment and showing appreciation to your staff are great ways to maintain high morale.
