Mississippi Department of Public Safety brings Mardi Gras cheer to Children’s of Mississippi

Mississippi Department of Public Safety said it brought Mardi Gras fun to Children’s of Mississippi again this year, posting photos and remarks on its official Facebook page. The department said employees, patients and their families shared smiles during the visit.

The Department of Public Safety is the state agency that oversees law enforcement support, driver services and highway safety programs. Children’s of Mississippi is the pediatric hospital at the University of Mississippi Medical Center and serves children from across the state.

The department’s outreach underscores the role of community engagement and morale-boosting activities for pediatric patients and their families. Seasonal events such as Mardi Gras celebrations can provide a sense of normalcy and enjoyment for children undergoing medical care and their caregivers.

Details about the event, including timing and participants, were not included in the post. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
