Members of the AdventHealth Gordon EMS team were recently honored with the 2020 AdventHealth Gordon EMS Service Awards.

“As a leader, I feel incredibly proud to get to work with a team like this every day,” said Michael Etheridge, director of AdventHealth Gordon EMS. “They are an exceptional team who works well together and is very community-focused."
