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.
Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center Chief Operating Officer, Teresa Urquhart, presented the award to Terrana who was surrounded by his family, friends and fellow paramedics.
