It was a beautiful spring afternoon yesterday outside on the grounds at NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln in the Bronx as the Annual Easter Egg Hunt took place, bringing so many happy smiles among local area children and students from P.S. 18 John Peter Zenger. The exciting Easter event included a number of large co-sponsors such as Centers Health Care, Fidelis Care, Affinity by Molina, and MetroPlus Health Inc.

In addition to the highly-anticipated Easter Egg Hunt, lively music was heard throughout the event, plus there were photo opportunities with the Easter Bunny, face painting, an Easter basket giveaway filled with candies and many games. Kids of all ages were never short on having a great afternoon.
