Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center

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.
