Harmony Semak Operations Manager For Harmony, long-term care isn’t just her career—it’s practically in her DNA. She grew up spending her childhood in nursing homes while her mom worked, and those early experiences shaped her passion for serving others, specifically the geriatric population. Over the past decade, she has built a career across a wide range of skilled nursing and long-term care facilities, earning a bachelor’s in social work and a master’s in healthcare administration along the way. It was during a hospice internship in undergrad, though, that she truly found her calling. Witnessing the interdisciplinary team care for the whole person—and their family—was nothing short of spectacular. That experience led her to a role as a bereavement coordinator, where she had the privilege of nurturing families through some of life’s most difficult moments. When she’s not working, she is chasing after her two boys, who make sure life is never boring! She recharges by going on nature walks or listening to a vast array of music. She’s always on the hunt for concert tickets for whoever’s coming through town.
