Santa just made a special summer stop at TGH! We're officially halfway to Christmas this week, and we're celebrating in a BIG way. Trading in his sleigh for a day, Santa, along with the local Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) SWAT team and FBI Tampa Citizens Academy Alumni Association, paid us a visit in the Bearcat Assault Vehicle to deliver toys to our young patients at the Muma Children's Hospital. A huge thanks to their entire team and our incredible Child Life Specialists who made this magical day possible. Merry Half-Christmas, Tampa! 🎄🎅🎁 #WeAreTGH #MerryChristmas Want to support our pediatric patients through the Tampa General Hospital Foundation's #ChristmasInJuly campaign?

This #ParathyroidAwarenessMonth, we're highlighting Stacy Balfe, a patient of Dr. José Lopez, Co-Director of the TGH Parathyroid & Thyroid Institute. As one of the most experienced parathyroid surgeons in the world, people from all over the globe have traveled to receive care from Dr. Lopez and his team. Stacy's kind words after her surgery will show you why: "Having moved to Tampa from Boston, my standards are very high when it comes to overall healthcare. Since moving to Florida, I haven't been at all impressed with the healthcare system here. However, there is an exception! I can't express enough how WONDERFUL Dr. Lopez is as a physician and how amazing his team and staff are at the TGH Parathyroid & Thyroid Institute. Dr. Lopez is very hands-on and has an exceptional bedside manner. He would reach out to me himself to update me on my surgical process, along with his amazing nurses who are equally excellent in checking on me post-op. If I emailed a question, I had an answer right away. His office staff was kind, caring, and extremely nice, as well as his surgical team and anesthesiologist (especially with my anxiety). I mentioned I was thinking of surfing to bring me to my happy place after my surgery, and they gave me a beach-themed 'Get Well' card that put a smile on my face. I couldn't have been in better hands and I'm just so grateful I had him as my surgeon. Thank you sincerely for your unwavering commitment to excellence and for setting a standard of professionalism that I fervently hope all healthcare providers strive to emulate. 10 ⭐️'s and HIGHLY recommended!”
