Pediatric Emergency Services
Throughout the East Central Florida community, infants, children, adolescents and young adults seek emergency care each day. Appropriate access to pediatric emergency medical care is especially important for children because substantial morbidity may occur if care is delayed.
At Halifax Health, we guarantee prompt and appropriate access to pediatric emergency medical care for all children regardless of socioeconomic status, ethnic origin, type of insurance, geographic location or health status.
The Pediatric Emergency Care Unit at Halifax Health Medical Center has eight beds (one is a pediatric resuscitation room,) and it is fully staffed with board certified pediatricians and trauma surgeons, ED physicians and intensivists who are trained to care for pediatric patients.
The ED works closely with the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) which is located on the sixth floor at Halifax Health Medical Center, in the Betty Jane France Center for Speediatrics
