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/
