Remembering Corrine

Corrine Anne Lowen started as a research associate with ELPH in 2012. In July 2014, she received a diagnosis of cancer and as the process unfolded there were few options for treatment.  In fall, she was diagnosed as palliative.  Despite the pain she endured the last six months, she willed her body to stay strong enough to say goodbye to family and friends at Christmas. We had the privilege of seeing her several times and can tell you she was truly at peace and ready for this. She passed away before sunrise on January 9th with her family at her side.  Many of you knew Corrine and will appreciate the enthusiasm, energy and warmth she brought to the ELPH Team. She made many contacts on behalf of the ELPH team throughout the province that will continue as the project continues. She was so committed to the promotion of health equity. She played a significant role in data collection and analysis for Study 1 and was a main driver of the developing indigenous health equity analysis. She contributed so much to our team and was a constant source of wisdom, support and energy to many of us.
