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/

Prostate cancer affects one in eight men in the United States, one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in men. Even without a family history, your risk is real — but so is your power to detect it early. When caught early, prostate cancer is nearly 100% survivable.

Men age 50 and older should consider the benefits to take a simple step toward protecting their health by getting a prostate screening.

Mosaic is offering FREE prostate cancer screenings:
• Friday, September 26, 4 – 7 p.m.
• Saturday, September 27, 8 – 11 a.m.

Learn more or register today at https://www.mymlc.com/prostate.

The Community Blood Center (CBC) has declared a blood emergency as the region’s blood supply has dropped to less than a two-day inventory, far below the ideal seven-day supply needed to meet hospital and patient needs. While all blood types are urgently needed, the shortage is especially severe for types O-negative and O-positive, which are vital for emergency situations and trauma care.

To donate, please visit the CBC at 3122 Frederick Ave., St. Joseph, Missouri, 64506 on:

Monday – Saturday, 7 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Wednesday and Thursday, Noon – 7 p.m.
