Shelley Wilson, President
Shelley Wilson learned about the importance of quality homecare while recovering from serious injuries sustained in an automobile accident while on active duty military training. In 1996, inspired by her experience, Shelley founded Wilson Homecare in Honolulu, Hawaii and has guided the company’s growth into one of the state’s most successful private homecare agencies. The company has more than 200 employees who provide personal home health care services in residences across Oahu. Wilson Homecare is licensed by the State of Hawaii as a home healthcare agency.
As a disabled veteran, Shelley identifies with the challenges facing patients during recovery or in times of uncertain health. She has utilized her military leadership skills in creating a phenomenal team of highly competent and compassionate caregivers who are able to provide clients with premium home health care services.

Wilson Homecare has twice been named one of PBN’s "Fastest 50" companies and was a finalist in the 2008 "Best in Business" Business Leadership Hawaii Awards. In 2005, the success of Wilson Homecare was recognized in Forbes magazine.
Shelley is active in the business community, volunteering on numerous Boards of Directors including her current role as Vice-Chair of the Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii.
