West Boca Medical Center Honors Local Family and Fire Rescue Unit for Lifesaving Efforts

In recognition of Coral Springs Fire Rescue Unit 71’s lifesaving response to a near-drowning incident involving a 6-year-old child, West Boca Medical Center honored the unit with the Call of the Quarter Award at the hospital’s Emergency Center at Coconut Creek. CEO Mitch Feldman also awarded the pediatric patient, Alexander Gentilcore, with a superhero cape and his father, Ryan, with a “Superhero Dad” plaque for performing CPR before EMS arrived. In addition, the EMS team gave Alexander a tour of the same fire rescue truck that transported him to the pediatric emergency room at West Boca Medical Center.
