          Presents 2017 Florida Paramedic of

              the Year Award to Palm Beach


                  Gardens Fire Rescue Medic


           Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center recently hosted the Association of EMS
         Providers to present the 2017 Florida Paramedic of the Year Award to Palm Beach
         Gardens Fire Rescue Medic, David Terrana.
           Terrana was nominated and honored in part, for saving a man in 2016 who had
         crashed his car into a light pole.  The car then burst into flames before Terrana, who
         was off duty and driving on the same road at the time. He stopped his vehicle and
         then risked his own life to save the man from the burning car, and brought him to
         safety, both of them being lucky enough to survive the ordeal.
