Obituary
Joshua Yasuo Suzuki, age 78, passed away on April 19, 2020 from COVID-19 complications… He chose to forgo a comfortable future in Japan and continued his training in the US. At a hospital in Connecticut, the chief resident, a Jewish man, declared: “Yasuo sounds like how we say Joshua in Hebrew,” and he was Joshua from that day forward. He went on to become a board-certified OB/GYN. “It was the only kind of doctor where people are mostly happy,” he would later tell his children. He practiced medicine in Seattle for over 20 years, based out of the Polyclinic.

“He was my OB/Gyn partner and my mentor and confidante at Polyclinic. Our lives intertwined through the kids and families and I send condolences to all.”
