Plattsburgh, NY — The Foundation of CVPH is “hopping” into spring with its Annual Easter Egg Hunt planned for Saturday, April 4 at 10 am sharp on the University of Vermont Health Network – Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital (CVPH) front lawn.

This community tradition will feature 10,000 candy‑filled eggs spread across the lawn. To ensure a fun and inclusive experience, the event will include a separate hunting area for children ages 3 and under, as well as a quiet hunting area for children who may benefit from a calmer environment. Families are encouraged to come prepared — this is a BYOB event (Bring Your Own Basket) and is held regardless of the weather and hunting conditions.

Serving as guest of honor is the Easter Bunny who will be greeting families and posing for photos.

“There’s something really special about being able to offer this tradition to the community each year. We see many of the parents with their children who were once egg hunters themselves,” said Michelle Senecal, Foundation Manager of Events and Special Projects. She added that Easter Egg Hunt would not be possible without the amazing support of CVPH volunteers. “Many thanks to volunteers who spend hours filling thousands of eggs.”

Known by some as “the fastest minute in Plattsburgh,” the egg hunt moves quickly, so families are encouraged to arrive early and be ready to go when the hunt begins at 10 a.m. sharp.

Convenient parking is located in the Medical Office Building lots just off the Cornelia Street entrance. For more information, contact Senecal at 518-314-3359 or msenecal@cvph.org.
