Halifax Health – Betty Jane France Center for Pediatrics was designed with the idea of caring for the whole family in mind. Brightly decorated with a NASCAR racing theme, Speediatrics creates a cheerful and reassuring environment for the children who are receiving care and for their families.
The Daytona International Speedway is located near the medical center, and NASCAR drivers often come to visit with young patients during Race Week and other events. There are displays of memorabilia from NASCAR drivers and cars, with autographs from many famous visitors on the Speediatrics Wall of Fame. With the help of the NASCAR Foundation and community partners, we can create positive and memorable experiences for the children and families that come to Speediatrics.
The NASCAR theme is carried throughout all aspects of our 32-bed pediatric unit, even with the ceiling tiles that have the Speediatrics characters on them. First opened in 1999, it was newly renovated and reopened on November 10, 2010 and cares for more than 2,000 children each year. Speediatrics care extends to the Pediatric Emergency Department located in Halifax Health Medical Center’s Emergency Department on France Tower Ground Level, and is also NASCAR-themed.
