WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. – The spirit of the season filled the air at AdventHealth Wesley Chapel earlier today during the hospital's annual Christmas by the Piano celebration. Patients, visitors, team members and community members came together to enjoy a festive musical program made to bring hope and joy to all.
Held in the hospital’s beautifully decorated lobby, the event featured inspiring performances from talented vocalists across all AdventHealth West Florida Division Hospitals, including Chaplain Moses Brown of AdventHealth Tampa singing “Go Tell It on the Mountain,” and Dr. Michael Longley, chief medical officer of AdventHealth North Pinellas, alongside other skilled musicians.
“Music has an incredible way of lifting hearts and spirits, especially during the holidays,” said Chaplain Daniel Sierra of AdventHealth Wesley Chapel, who organized this year's event. “This celebration reflects the meaning of Christmas—bringing people together to give thanks, share joy, and remind us all of the healing and hope that Christ brings.”
The annual tradition is a cornerstone of AdventHealth Wesley Chapel’s mission to extend the Healing Ministry of Christ to the community. This year’s event highlighted how music can comfort patients and their families, connect the community, and inspire gratitude during the holiday season.
As part of the holiday festivities, AdventHealth Wesley Chapel also encouraged guests to reflect on the importance of giving back and fostering connections with one another, making the season brighter for all.
