AdventHealth Brings Christmas Magic to Pediatric Patients in July

TAMPA, Fla. (July 18, 2025) — In the heat of summer AdventHealth Tampa is bringing the magic of Christmas. All month long, community members have been donating toys, games and financial gifts to support pediatric patients receiving care at AdventHealth Tampa. The special Christmas in July is meant to bring comfort, smiles and a bit of cheer to children who may be going through a difficult or scary time.  

There is still time to participate by going to the AdventHealth Christmas in July website. There is also a space in the AdventHealth Taneja lobby for donations. The month of giving will come to a close with a big celebration on Friday, July 25. 

“For children staying in the hospital, every day can feel uncertain and overwhelming, but a simple toy can make a world of difference during treatment,” said McKenzie Doll, the executive director for the AdventHealth Tampa Foundation. “This Christmas in July event is also a powerful reminder that joy and kindness can shine any time of the year.”  

AdventHealth Tampa offers Advanced Children’s Emergency Room care, a level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and on-site pediatric specialty services. To learn more about pediatric care at AdventHealth Tampa, click here
