Harmony McCoy is an emergency nurse, educator, and Army veteran whose career has centered on leadership, service, and improving patient outcomes. Working in both urban trauma centers and rural critical access hospitals, she has witnessed firsthand the impact of substance use disorders (SUD) on patients, families, and communities, fueling her passion for education and evidence-based care.

After earning her BSN from Denver College of Nursing, Harmony built a career in emergency nursing and achieved certifications as a Certified Emergency Nurse (CEN) and Trauma Certified Registered Nurse (TCRN). Her clinical experience spans emergency care for rural and urban populations, patients with SUDs, and pregnant and postpartum patients presenting in emergency settings.

Before entering nursing, Harmony served as an officer in the U.S. Army, leading teams and managing projects, logistics, and training programs. Today, she combines that leadership experience with her clinical expertise to educate healthcare professionals and support high-performing clinical care teams.

At Epifluence, Harmony serves as the Clinical Lead for the MOMs+ Overdose Readiness Drills program, helping healthcare organizations improve preparedness for opioid-related obstetrical emergencies through practical, team-based training and education. She also supports the adaptation and implementation of the Interprofessional Simulation Program for Clinical Resilience and Empathy (INSPIRE) curriculum, an NIH-funded simulation-based project designed to strengthen care for patients with SUD during childbirth in rural communities.

When she’s not in the emergency department, Harmony can be found exploring Colorado’s mountains with her three dogs, enjoying mountain biking, rafting, skiing, and hiking.
