Mark C Henry, MD

Dr. Henry was one of the first residency-trained and Board Certified Emergency medicine physicians to practice in New York City and New York State.  As a member of the original Regional Emergency Medical Advisory Committee for New York City, he helped develop standards for EMS, 911 – receiving hospitals and specialty referral centers in an EMS system receiving over 1,000,000 calls annually.

Dr. Henry arrived at stony Brook as the founding Chairman of Emergency Medicine in 1990 and remained as Chair until 2022.  He has led the department to national stature in the area of emergency medicine research.  An avid EMS researcher, Dr. Henry has contributed to the scientific medical literature in the areas of public access defibrillation, pre-hospital response times, trauma triage, field trauma documentation, use of 12-lead ECG in the field, medical direction of EMS , airway management, IV catheter safety, and CPR/first aid training for the general public.  He lectures nationally and internationally, including Korea, Israel, Portugal and Brazil on emergency medicine and EMS related topics.  Dr. Henry has authored many scientific publications, textbooks, chapters and currricula for emergency medicine and EMS.  This includes a comprehensive textbook for Emergency Medicine Technicians, “EMT Prehospital Care”. 

Dr. Henry served as the Medical Director of the EMS Program for the New York State Department of Health for 22 years and as the founding Chairman of the New York State Emergency Medical Advisory Committee.  During his tenure, research trials, clinical protocols, educational programs, legislative 
initiatives,  and community based EMS programs such as defibrillators in public schools have significantly improved the effectiveness of the New York State EMS system.
