Healthcare in Daytona Beach
Daytona Beach's healthcare anchor is Halifax Health Medical Center, which operates the area's only Level II Trauma Center and runs somewhere between 678 and 767 beds depending on source, alongside AdventHealth Daytona Beach, a separate 362-bed hospital that does not carry a trauma-center designation -- giving the city two distinct hospital systems rather than one.

Learn moreHalifax Health Medical Center
Halifax Health Medical Center of Daytona Beach is the area's dominant acute-care hospital, though sources disagreed on the exact bed count this session -- one source cited 767 beds, another 678 beds. Its 24-hour Emergency Department includes the area's only Level II Trauma Center, a meaningful concentration of the highest-acuity emergency-care capacity in the region at a single facility.
AdventHealth Daytona Beach
AdventHealth Daytona Beach is a separate, 362-bed hospital in the city. Unlike Halifax Health, it does not operate a designated trauma center -- for trauma-level emergency care, Halifax Health is the relevant facility. Having two distinct hospital systems within the city gives residents a real choice for non-trauma care and specialty services.
What Wasn't Confirmed This Session
This research pass did not reconcile the exact Halifax Health bed count (678 vs. 767 across sources), nor find a comparative quality-ranking or wait-time analysis between the two systems, nor a U.S. News-style national ranking for either hospital specific to Daytona Beach. Anyone with a specific medical need should verify current quality ratings, trauma capability, and in-network status for their insurance directly with each system rather than relying on bed counts alone as a quality picture.
