The Special Operations Response Team, or "SORT" is
a 501 (c)(3) non-profit corporation founded in 1978 in
Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Its mission is to Provide
the Highest Level of Disaster Medical Support through
Education, Research and Response. SORT incorporated
as a non-profit agency in 1988.

SORT is based in Forsyth County, North Carolina. The
team's personnel include physicians, nurses, paramedics,
EMT's, firefighter's, law enforcement officers, hazmat
technicians, critical incident stress management
technicians, chaplains, and logistical support members.
SORT stands by or responds to mass crowd gatherings,
natural and man made disasters, mass casualty incidents
or evacuation situations, hazardous materials spills, and
has a trained division of SWAT medic's that respond with
local law enforcement SWAT teams. SORT is an
"All-Hazards" response team.

The SORT organization is structured into divisions including -
Medical, Special Medical Needs Population, HazMat, Critical
Incident Stress Management, Logistics, and Tactical Medical
Support for Law Enforcement SWAT teams - in addition to staff
functions including Administration, Occupational Health Services,
public information, and medical support for mass crowd
gatherings.

The team meets at 7:00 PM on the first Wednesday night of
each month at our training facility located at 121 Polo Road,
Winston-Salem, NC. (See map and direction on 1st page of
this website) Members who are unable to attend monthly
meetings take short courses through web-based training
pertaining to meeting subjects and discuss these topics
during training exercises.

You are expected to attend 2 weekend training exercises per
year. By working to maintain your preparedness, you will learn
to care for people with state of the art equipment in an austere
medical setting. You can maintain your readiness by carrying
a SORT group pager.

If you are the right kind of person you can be a part of one of
the finest medical response teams in the country.
