The hunt was on for Easter joy at the University of Mississippi Medical Center this past week. Friends of Children’s Hospital and volunteers from Trustmark brought an egg hunt, baskets of surprises and visits with Peter Cottontail to Children’s of Mississippi while, around the School of Medicine, students took a break from studies to gather the brightly colored Easter eggs that dotted the landscape.
