Hawai`i Community Genetics was created as a collaborative effort of the Department of Health, Hawai`i Medical Services Association, Kapi`olani Medical Center for Women and Children, Queen's Medical Center, and the University of Hawai`i John A. Burns School of Medicine. In the future, more local partners will join the collaborative group. Dr. Laurie Seaver is the medical directorand clinical geneticist at Hawai`i Community Genetics.

She is board certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and American Board of Medical Genetics. Dr. Seaver has extensive experience working with pediatric, prenatal and adult patients. Hawai`i Community Genetics continues to contract with the Stanford School of Medicine Genetics Program to provide periodic support for clinical pediatric and adult genetic services and genetics education. Clinical support services at Hawai`i Community Genetics are provided by Sansan Lee (Kapiolani Medical Center); Lianne Hasegawa, Michele Maeda, Kirsty McWalter, and Sarah Scollon (Department of Health); and Linda Cheng and Allison Taylor-Shykowski (Queen's Medical Center).
