The 48th annual Emergency Medical Services Week Awards, celebrated on May 21 – 27, recognized EMS professionals who exceeded expectations while conducting pre-hospital care and ensuring the health and safety of their community.
Tamarac Fire Rescue Driver Engineer Scott Hudanich received the 2023 Steward of the Community EMS Award at the ceremony hosted by Florida Medical Center. Firefighter Paramedic Francois Avril was also recognized during the Broward Health North breakfast awards ceremony for his exceptional contributions to the health and well-being of the Tamarac community throughout the year.
Tamarac Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Rafael Droz said Hudanich and Avril are both wonderful ambassadors for the organization and exemplary employees. “Tamarac Fire Rescue feels very fortunate to have staff members who provide excellent customer service and inspire others around them to be better,” he added.
