“Supporting collaborative practice among public and private institutions to promote safety in Boston”

Steve Lawlor

Deputy Superintendent

Boston EMS

Steve was a 27-year veteran of Boston EMS who died in October 2005 after a long battle with cancer.

He was well-respected for his calm, confident style of leadership as he rose through the ranks to Deputy Superintendent and Commander of Special Operations.

Steve was involved in well-known events such as Boston’s First Night, the July 4th Celebration on the Esplanade, and the Boston Marathon.  He also worked with many public and private organizations and businesses to make Boston a safe place for all to enjoy.  Steve was a staunch supporter of public/private sector partnerships long before it became popular.

The Stephen M. Lawlor Foundation was formed to continue these collaborative relationships.  The activities of the Foundation include the annual Lawlor Award for Collaborative Practice, assisting BEMS members facing financial hardship, working with the Boston EMS Relief Association, and supporting educational opportunities.

Steve’s City Run was the Foundation’s primary fundraiser.
