Corinne Suzuka is currently the Administrator of CareResoure Hawaii. Formed in 1996 as a Joint Venture between the Kuakini Health Systems and The Queen’s Health System, CareResource Hawaii provides home health and home care on Oahu and has home care on Molokai and the Island of Hawaii. Ms. Suzuka has worked in Home Health, Home Care or Hospice for 35 years.

Families who care for loved ones in their home are strong, resourceful and competent but sometimes they need community assistance and that is why many agencies are here, to assist the patient or the families.
