On August 8, 2025, I did a first in my life. I delivered memory bears that had been crafted by hospice volunteers made from Mrs. Holmes' clothing. I had never met Mr. Holmes or his wife, Nancy, but I know what the family was experiencing and happy to offer bereavement support.

Help us welcome two new nurse practitioners to Mosaic Life Care — Darci Feiden, APRN and Valerie Watts, APRN.

“The best environment to work with a patient is one in which they feel comfortable," says Darci. "It is truly about finding out who my patients are and meeting them where they are.”

“Everybody comes from different walks in life and that to me is so precious,” says Valerie. “Being able to learn something about each patient helps me to care for them with an open mind and open heart.”

Get in touch with Darci and Valerie at Mosaic Life Care at St. Joseph – Internal Medicine Plaza 2 — https://www.mymlc.com/Main/Location/st-joseph-mo/mosaic-life-care-at-st.-joseph-medical-center/plaza-2/Internal-Medicine-Plaza2/

Guest speakers from Mayo Clinic joined us this week for Addressing Su***de and Trauma. Local mental health professionals gathered to learn strategies to better understand and help, not only those who may be having suicidal thoughts, but also those who are affected by the loss of someone who has committed su***de.

This interactive session included opportunities to practice specific strategies during small group discussions. Participants also received Continuing Education Units from the MoWest Social Work Department.

“Strategic Healthcare Programs (SHP) recognizes how much hard work is involved in providing excellent patient care, and we are proud to acknowledge the tireless efforts of our top-performing customers through our annual SHPBest award program. These organizations care deeply about the patient experience, and they never stop striving to improve every single year,” said SHP President Kevin Vogel.

Mosaic Life Care – Hospice was among those organizations recognized by Strategic Healthcare Programs (SHP) as a “Superior Performer” for achieving an overall caregiver and family experience score that ranked in the top 20% of all eligible SHP clients for the 2024 calendar year.

“Hospice caregivers embody Mosaic’s vision – to be the first choice and trusted partner in health – and live the mission every day, putting the needs of the patient first,” says Hospice and Palliative Care Director Kassie Hodge. “Every interaction matters to these caregivers, and our patients and their family members have come to expect that from us. Receiving this honor sets the bar just another notch higher.”

This is the third time Mosaic Life Care has received national recognition from SHP for outstanding performance.

The annual SHPBest™ award program was created to acknowledge hospice providers that consistently provide high quality service to families and caregivers of patients receiving hospice care. The 2024 award recipients were determined by reviewing and ranking the overall Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Hospice caregiver experience score for more than 1,800 hospice providers. With one of the largest CAHPS Hospice benchmarks in the nation, SHP is in a unique position to identify and recognize organizations that made the family and caregiver experience a priority and have been rewarded for their efforts with high marks on the CAHPS Hospice survey.
