Over 36 years ago, Debra Harris began her career journey with the Continuum. In 1986, Harris started fresh out of high school as a nurse aide for Dubois Nursing Home. She quickly realized that caring for people was her passion. She knew her calling in life was to be a nurse. So, in 1989, Deb graduated as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) through training at Penn State DuBois in conjunction with the Department of Human Services. Harris continued to work at the Nursing Home, as a charge nurse upon graduation.

Then in 2001, she was offered an opportunity to build Village View Independent Living so she accepted the position of manager for Village View. Deb helped to build the PDA waiver services provided to her Village View clients. In 2015, DuBois Continuum of Care Community became licensed to start the affiliated company, DuBois Home Care. Deb was given the responsibility of growing this additional campus service as she became the Director, still remaining as manager of Village View. DuBois Home Care quickly became a trusted home care service to clients in Dubois and surrounding communities.

The year of 2017, DuBois Village Personal Care was in need of a new Director of Wellness, so Deb became the first choice to fill this position. With her years of experience with the Continuum and experience as a nurse, the fit was perfect. Deb recently accepted the position of DuBois Village Personal Care Administrator. She has worked her entire adult life in some capacity for DuBois Continuum of Care Community, gaining knowledge of operations for all care levels. Deb loves the experiences that she has had through the years at the Continuum and is looking forward to many more years ahead.
