TAMPA, Fla. — Every new life brings a moment worth celebrating, and at AdventHealth, those first moments are met with care, connection and community.

Just in time for the 2026 NFL Draft, families welcoming newborns at AdventHealth hospitals across West Florida are being introduced to a new “rookie class” — the AdventHealth Bucs Babies.

This year's rookie class includes two baby boys, Adam and Bohdi, and four baby girls: Amber, Autumn, Dezarae and Hailey.

Through a long-standing partnership with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, each newborn has the opportunity to receive a Bucs Babies Draft Kit, helping mark the beginning of their journey with a connection to one of Tampa Bay’s most beloved teams.

The 2026 Bucs Babies kit has been updated to include even more important items for growing families, such as baby wash and shampoo, lotion, a hat, a swaddle and Buccaneers-themed gear, including pajamas — simple touches designed to celebrate and support families during this meaningful time.

As the exclusive hospital of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, AdventHealth has cared for more than 50,000 babies across West Florida over the past decade — a reflection of its commitment to whole-person care for every family, from the very start.

From the hospital room to the heart of the community, AdventHealth is honored to walk alongside families as they begin their journey together.
