It started with a solution to an unmet need.
Mari-Jo Harney, RN, BSN, moved to Hopkinton in 1977, after a successful career as an ICU nurse at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital and nursing instructor at Newton-Wellesley Hospital. She immediately recognized a significant unmet need for in-home nursing services in the outer suburbs, and decided to act.
She leveraged her professional network and broad range of nursing experience, and launched a company to address these needs. Mari-Jo was the agency’s Executive Director & Director of Nursing for over 35 years, and she dedicated her entire professional career to improving the health of her clients and their families. Her success and longevity in the healthcare industry is a credit to her extraordinary caring nature and her persistent work ethic. Today, the agency has serviced over 3,500 elderly, disabled and sick patients in the Metro-West and Greater Boston area.
Mari-Jo’s youngest son, Justin, joined the family business in 2011 after graduating from the Olin Graduate School of Business at Babson College. Justin became President in 2015, and remains focused on the guiding principles of his mother and company founder: to provide quality care to clients in the comfort of their own homes.
