The Starlight Gala: Once Upon a Miracle brought our community together in support of AdventHealth’s women’s and children’s services. One of the most powerful moments of the evening was the story of Chloe, a brave young girl who spent time in the NICU and whose journey reminds us of the hope and healing made possible through compassionate care.
