Escambia County is pleased to recognize Carlos Orona, a Paramedic in Emergency Medical Services, as the January 2022 Employee of the Month.
Mr. Carlos Orona began his career with Escambia County on Jan. 5, 2015. Since then, he has provided excellent services to the citizens of Escambia County throughout all of his assigned duties.
As a paramedic, Carlos is responsible for the protection of life through the performance of Emergency Medical Services, providing basic and advanced life support to patients at the scene of emergencies, and while transporting sick and injured patients to medical care facilities. He is also responsible for working as an emergency medical team member who may direct personnel at an emergency scene and directly reports to the Paramedic Supervisor.
Recently, Carlos has demonstrated significant dedication and has worked tirelessly to make certain that all aspects of implementing the new ImageTrend report writing software have been successful. He spent countless hours building the ImageTrend operations platform for use by Escambia County EMS, was reassigned to a Monday through Friday schedule to assist employees with any needs to troubleshoot the new system, has trained employees on an individual basis when needed, and has attended every meeting regarding the implementation of the software.
"Carlos had done a fantastic job with the implementation of the the new ImageTrend software that Escambia County EMS has gone to," said Public Safety Director Eric Gilmore. "He has done a fantastic job of making sure it was a no-fail operation."
"ImageTrend would not have been possible if it were not for Carlos," said Escambia County EMS Chief David Torsell III. "This guy took this software and built it from the ground up to fit our organization. The coding and the hours he had to go through to make this possible was phenomenal."
The Escambia County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) commends and congratulates Mr. Carlos Orona on his selection as the Employee of the Month for January 2022.
The board appointed Carlos with a proclamation honoring him as the January Employee of the Month at the Jan. 6, 2022 Board of County Commissioners meeting.
