NASCAR Driver Visits Halifax Health

Several of Halifax Health Medical Center’s pediatric patients got a special treat in December when NASCAR driver Mike Skinner and his wife, Angie, along with members of the Speedway Ambassadors, showed up to Speediatrics bearing gifts and holiday cheer.

Volunteering with Mike and Angie Skinner were representatives from the Speedway Ambassadors. The Speedway Ambassadors is an organization made up of about 20 speedway employees who donate time to decorate the pediatric unit and visit with the children during various holidays throughout the year.
