CARING AWARDS RECOGNIZE SERVICE GIVEN WITH NO STRINGS ATTACHED
The 2013 Dr. George S. Trotter Founder’s Award was presented to the Duval County Medical Society at We Care Jacksonville’s 4th annual Caring Awards on Nov. 14. Two awards of service were given, one to Daniel B. Lestage, M.D. and one to North Florida Surgeons, recognizing health care volunteers in the community. The event raised $90,000 for the network of health care professionals and hospitals who donate primary and specialty care to Duval County’s uninsured, homeless and medically under-served. Collectively, in 2012 they
provided nearly 10,000 specialty care services valued at $16 million.
