Corrie Irwin, BKin, RRT, MA

Corrie is the Operations Director supporting Surgical Services, Intensive Care, Emergency and Trauma Services for Vancouver Coastal Health in the Coastal Community of Care.   Lions Gate Hospital was the first facility in Canada to admit a Covid positive patient, at the same time that plans we well underway for design and construction of a new acute care tower.   Transitioning a 1960’s hospital into a facility that could safely care for patients and staff alike in a pandemic posed tremendous challenges for the team.   However, the LGH team has taken this unprecedented experience and applied principles and pivoted their learnings from the Covid pandemic into the planning for the new facility.  With over 20 years of experience in health care with clinical and operational oversight, Corrie brings a lived and learned perspective to the discussion.
