Dr. George Blanton from West Boca Medical Center recently received a surprise emergency room visit. Palm Beach Fire Rescue Battalion 5 was outside to present Dr. Blanton with a plaque thanking him for 20 years of community service to firefighters and paramedics. Dr. Blanton has been at West Boca since it opened its doors in 1986 and was taken aback by the unannounced visit.
“It was truly a surprise and an honor to receive such a welcome from a group of individuals whom I have the utmost respect for,” said Blanton. “I have worked with several of these people since the start of their careers, and have treated many of them and their families.”
Dr. Blanton has been a consistent educator for EMS technicians and provides information on new procedures.
