Gastroenterology services at the University of Mississippi Medical Center are moving to more spacious and tech-savvy quarters after growing out of the clinic and procedure areas on the main Jackson campus.

The deep red beanie, seamlessly crocheted by hand, was slipped over little Alicia De La Cruz's curls. It was one of dozens and dozens of little red caps donated to the youngest patients at the University of Mississippi Medical Center as part of the American Heart Association's Little Hats, Big Hearts campaign.

The Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award going to Eli Manning Saturday has special meaning for Mississippi. The New York Giants quarterback, who with wife Abby is honorary chair of The Campaign for Children's of Mississippi and donated $1 million toward expansion and updates to pediatric facilities at UMMC, was a finalist for the award the past three years, as well as in 2007, 2008, 2011 and 2012. This year, Manning was named a co-winner of the award with Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald.

The Medical Center is proud to acknowledge those employees who will celebrate service anniversaries this week.

Several interesting events are scheduled for the upcoming week at the Medical Center.
