Santa and Elves Visit Pediatric Patients at AdventHealth Tampa

TAMPA, Fla. (November 18, 2025) – Kids and teens at AdventHealth Tampa’s pediatric department got a special surprise from Santa and his elves on November 18. Santa personally delivered festive gift packages to the children, which included tickets to Busch Gardens Christmas Town and a Little Adventurer’s shirt. 

“It brought comfort and joy to our young patients, helping them feel whole and supported, while offering their siblings and parents a moment of light during a challenging time,” said Pediatrics Nurse Manager, Erica Brissette.

This special visit kicks off the start of Busch Gardens Christmas Town and is part of the partnership between AdventHealth and Busch Gardens.
