Dr. David Farcy Honored at Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce Annual Heroes Breakfast
AAEM president, David A. Farcy, MD FAAEM FCCM was recognized at the Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce Annual Heroes Breakfast on February 15, 2019.
Remarks presented at the award ceremony are as follows:
"Dr. Farcy has been a part of the Mount Sinai family for 13 years and continues to be a tremendous asset to the medical center and to the Miami Beach community. Pulling from his experience as a paramedic with the U.S. Air Force, he has the ability to think quickly and take action, while exuding compassion for patients and their families. He is an exemplary leader and a team player, and was instrumental in expanding our high quality emergency services to other communities with the opening of our freestanding emergency centers in Aventura and Hialeah.
Over the years he has worked closely with City of Miami Beach police officers, firefighters, and ocean rescue first responders to ensure seamless emergency care for our residents and visitors. He has also gone above and beyond the call of duty countless times over the course of his professional career. Passionate about emergency and disaster medicine, he assisted in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew, the Mexico City and Haiti earthquakes, Hurricane Mitch, and September 11th. We are also very proud to say that Dr. Farcy was recently named President of the American Academy of Emergency Medicine. His passion for caring for those in our community, across the country and abroad in times of need, has made him a true hero for countless patients over the years, and I am honored to present him with this award today."
