BayCare St. Anthony's Hospital has been part of St. Petersburg since 1931, when the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany founded it. Today it is a not-for-profit BayCare community hospital on Seventh Avenue North, a short drive from downtown, with 448 licensed beds.
For senders, St. Anthony's is refreshingly relaxed. Its visitor information talks warmly about gifts reaching patients, and nothing on it singles out flowers as a problem on regular floors.
What BayCare St. Anthony's Hospital allows
The hospital's patient and visitor page describes gifts being delivered to patients and team members, with floral arrangements and balloons part of that picture. That is a strong sign flowers are welcome on regular floors.
The page doesn't name units where flowers are kept out, and it doesn't say which kind of balloon is fine. Across hospitals in general, intensive care and some cancer or transplant units restrict fresh flowers, and foil (mylar) balloons are usually preferred over latex. Those are common patterns, not St. Anthony's rules. If you are unsure about the patient's unit, the main line can put you through to the nurses' station.

Where the delivery goes
Order from a local florist and write St. Anthony's Hospital, 1200 Seventh Ave N, St. Petersburg, FL 33705, plus the patient's full name, the room if the family knows it, and your phone number. The main hospital line is (727) 825-1100. BayCare visitation is 8am to 8pm daily, and the main entrance is reached from the Seventh Avenue garage.
A weekday daytime delivery is the easiest for any hospital to route to the floor. Weekend orders can still work, but leave a little extra time, and check the discharge date with the family so the bouquet doesn't arrive after your patient has gone home.
If flowers aren't an option
For a longer stay, a soft robe or a good book can be more useful than flowers, and a card always fits. If the unit turns out to restrict flowers, a local florist can deliver to the patient's home for the day they get back.
What to send to a patient here
A mid-sized mixed arrangement suits most rooms here, and adding a balloon makes it festive for a birthday in hospital. For a quiet thank-you to the nurses, a bright bouquet for the station is a kind gesture. See our thank-you flowers guide and the get-well flowers guide for ideas.
