Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital, still called Bayfront Health St. Petersburg by many locals, is the city's oldest hospital. It opened in 1910 and sits on 6th Street South in St. Petersburg. It is a not-for-profit teaching hospital and a Level II trauma center, now part of the Orlando Health system.
Flowers do reach patients here, yet the hospital doesn't publish a written rule about which rooms can take them.
What Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital (Bayfront Health St. Petersburg) allows
What the hospital says about flowers is short: its website mentions sending flowers or gifts to someone in the hospital, which suggests bouquets are part of normal life on many floors. It is not the same as a published policy, and it says nothing about intensive care, balloons or plants.
As general practice, trauma ICUs and other critical care areas in US hospitals usually turn away fresh flowers. Because Bayfront treats serious injuries, it is sensible to assume that some units here work the same way until a nurse tells you otherwise. Call (727) 823-1234 and ask about the unit your patient is on.

Where the delivery goes
The simplest route is a local florist that delivers to the hospital. Address it to the patient at 701 6th St. S, St. Petersburg, FL 33701, and include:
- the patient's full name,
- room or unit, if you know it,
- your phone number for problems.
Inpatient visiting is 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. A family member visiting in that window can also carry flowers up, which avoids any doubt about where a courier left them.
If flowers aren't an option
If the unit does not take fresh flowers, a card or a foil balloon, where allowed, still says you care. Or send a bouquet to the patient's home to greet them after discharge. A phone call or a short video message from far away often means just as much. If the patient came in through the trauma center, the first days are often spent in critical care, so a short wait before sending means the bouquet arrives when they can enjoy it on a regular floor.
What to send to a patient here
For a patient recovering on a regular floor, choose a cheerful but compact bouquet. Sunflowers and gerberas feel very Florida, hold up well, and have little scent. If you are sending from out of state, check our same-day cutoff guide for timing, and our get-well flowers guide for styles. Across the bay you will find HCA Florida Largo Hospital and Morton Plant Hospital.
