An Evening Under the Stars
Florida Hospital’s “An Evening Under the Stars” Starlight Gala featured a performance by rock band Styx at Amalie Arena in
Tampa. Fox 13 TV news anchor Linda Hurtado, whose cancer journey included care at Florida Hospital and who is grateful
for the care her relatives also received there, served as the evening’s master of ceremonies. The engaging evening was held
to benefit Florida Hospital, which is committed to the delivery of compassionate care based on its “Patient First” philosophy and
its mission of “Extending the healing ministry of Christ.”
