Dr. Michelle Leigh Hucul (nee Gauer)
June 18, 1984 – December 21, 2019
Dr. Michelle Hucul’s (nee Gauer) passed on December 21, 2021 following a courageous fight with colon cancer, while completing her first year of residency in Family Medicine. She did her clerkship in High River, AB and had big dreams to start her practice there with a focus on women’s health. Michelle was an incredible person and a truly bright light in our world who touched all she met with her spirit and grace. She was a dedicated mother, wife, daughter, friend, teammate, colleague and physician.
She has been deeply missed and her legacy lives on through the establishment of the Dr. Michelle Hucul Memorial Award and the Dr. Michelle Hucul Indigenous Leadership Award at University of Calgary’s Cumming School of Medicine.
This year we will be hosting the 2nd Annual Dr. Michelle Hucul Scholarship Barn Dance Fundraiser! Our goal is to raise money for Dr. Michelle Hucul Indigenous Leadership Award, which was generously started by Dr. Lynden Crowshoe. This award recognizes Michelle’s career path in rural medicine, as well as her Indigenous heritage. Donations will go directly towards helping to grow the award and ensure it will continue on.
Michelle was an amazing woman, kind and extremely caring with a passion for hosting a good party! For more info about the event, visit: https://www.showpass.com/drhuculhoedown
