Daily News | Susan Corrigan, a mainstay in Philadelphia’s harm reduction community, dies at 59
Susan Corrigan knew what it was to struggle with addiction — and when she achieved her own lasting recovery, her first instinct was to help others get there, too.
Ms. Corrigan, 59, a peer specialist who worked as a health navigator and outreach worker at the University of Pennsylvania and the local public health organization Prevention Point, died suddenly on Friday, March 11. Born Nov. 26, 1962, to Anita and Alphonse Conti, Ms. Corrigan grew up with five siblings in Somerdale, and went by “Susie” with friends and family. She shared a birthday with McCollum, her younger sister. “She was 2 years old when I was born, and I was her birthday present,” McCollum said. “She would always protect me — if people in the neighborhood would try to start with me, she would always come up and stick up for me.
