AdventHealth and Daytona International Speedway unveiled five new Mothers’ Nursing Rooms for fans, industry members, and partners when the gates are open at the track.
A first of its kind within the racing industry, these rooms provide breastfeeding mothers with a private, clean, and comfortable space. These one-person rooms lock and have an “in-use” sign on the exterior of the door when occupied. Side tables, changing tables, and diaper genies are all included in the rooms.
“These dedicated lactation rooms will create a more inclusive environment for postpartum mothers in the sport of racing. Extensive research highlights the benefits of breastfeeding for both infants and mothers, and this will give mothers a comfortable and dignified setting to pump or breastfeed their babies,” said Audrey Gregory, Ph.D., RN, Executive Vice President and CEO of the AdventHealth East Florida Division. “By upholding our core values of respect and inclusivity, we hope this will help new mothers at the Speedway feel valued and supported on race day.”
Fans can learn more about the AdventHealth Mothers’ Nursing Rooms by reviewing Speedway maps or asking any guest services representative.
While a first for a racetrack, AdventHealth and Women in NASCAR (WIN) partnered in 2023 to open Mothers’ Nursing Rooms at the IMC Building that hosts Daytona International Speedway and NASCAR office space. WIN is an employee resource group that aims to create a supportive community for women and allies in NASCAR offices to foster dialogue and promote professional growth.
Earlier this week, Daytona International Speedway and AdventHealth announced extending their partnership through the 2028 season, building upon their presenting sponsorship of the season-opening Speedweeks.
The annual multi-day racing festival known as Speedweeks Presented by AdventHealth encompasses multiple events, including the DAYTONA 500.
As the Official Health Care Provider of the Daytona International Speedway, AdventHealth cares for more than 6,000 patients annually at the Speedway, including drivers, pit crews, NASCAR officials and fans.
In recent months, AdventHealth announced a partnership with LEGACY MOTOR CLUB, owned by the legendary, seven-time NASCAR Champion Jimmie Johnson and Erik Jones will drive the No. 43 AdventHealth Toyota Camry XSE in the DAYTONA 500.
