With heavy hearts, Cape Fear Valley Mobile Integrated Healthcare shares the unexpected passing of our Associate Medical Director,Abhik Biswas, MD, FAAP.
Dr. Biswas served as Associate Medical Director across Hoke County EMS, Cumberland County EMS, LifeLink, and LifeLink Air, and his impact on our program and our people is immeasurable. He carried a deep passion for EMS, medicine, and aviation that showed in everything he did. Whether he was teaching advanced pediatric airway courses, running EMS calls alongside our crews, mentoring providers, or simply lending a quiet ear, Dr. Biswas was always present and always invested.
From the very inception of LifeLink Air, Dr. Biswas was a constant presence in the program. He didn’t just support aviation medicine, he lived it. He regularly participated in fly-alongs with our air crews, sharing their experiences firsthand, and ultimately fulfilled a lifelong passion by earning his private helicopter pilot’s license. He understood our mission because he chose to be part of it.
In addition to his service within our EMS and aviation communities, Dr. Biswas proudly served our country, holding the rank of Captain in the United States Navy (retired). His commitment to service extended far beyond any single role and reflected a lifetime dedicated to others.
More than a physician or medical director, Dr. Biswas was a trusted colleague, mentor, and a true friend to so many of us. His compassion, humility, and unwavering support helped shape our culture and strengthen our teams.
His presence will be profoundly missed, but his legacy will live on through the countless providers he taught, supported, and inspired.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, loved ones, and all those grieving this tremendous loss.
