Llewellyn Winn "Lew" Stringer Jr, MD
It is with great sadness that the NC Office of EMS and the Healthcare Preparedness Program share the passing of Dr. Lew Stringer.
Dr. Stringer had a distinguished career in EMS and in disaster response at the local, state and federal levels. Dr. Stringer’s service began in Forsyth County, where he was the first EMS Medical Director for that agency and served in that capacity for twenty eight years. He was the principal founder of the Special Operations Response Team (SORT) that contributed to disaster response operations across North Carolina. From 1990 through the early 2000’s, Dr. Stringer was involved with the United States Public Health Service in shaping the National Disaster Medical System (NDMS). When he returned to North Carolina, Dr. Stringer worked with the Division of Emergency Management as a Medical Advisor and with the Office of Emergency Medical Services as a project manager for the Mobile Disaster Hospital; which, in 2016, the Department of Homeland Security transferred to the state of North Carolina. Dr. Stringer has impacted EMS and Healthcare on all levels. Thank you sir, rest easy, we will take it from here.
