Heddy Cortes joined the Plaza at Punchbowl in 2014 as a Charge Nurse. She was promoted to Assistant Director of Nursing in 2018, where she assisted the Director of Nursing with the operations and management of the nursing department.  In 2019, she was promoted and became the Director of Nursing for The Plaza at Kaneohe.

Heddy was born and raised on Oahu and attended Moanalua High School. She started her career in healthcare working as a medical assistant and case manager for an agency that worked with the homeless population. Thanks to her experience with the agency and influence of the many Nurse Practitioners she worked alongside, Heddy decided to further her education and attended Kapiʻolani Community College, where she obtained both her Certificate in Practical Nursing and Associates Degree in Nursing. She then moved on and received her Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. Heddy enjoys being a part of the Plaza family and working with our residents and their families to make them feel at home.
