🏈 Chiefs Training Camp is off to a fantastic start. The energy is electric, and the fans are making it an unforgettable experience. From incredible plays to unforgettable moments with fans, it's all happening here in St. Joseph. Let's get ready for an amazing season ahead!

Last week we partnered with Missouri Western State University to offer safety training for The Kansas City Chiefs interns. These interns will be stationed all throughout training camp to help keep fans safe.

ONE. MORE. DAY. That’s right, The Kansas City Chiefs Training Camp officially begins tomorrow! Baby Patrick and Travis have made their way over to Missouri Western State University campus for another great year of camp. Be sure to catch them on the field and enjoy the world champs as they begin the journey to a 3-peat!

PUBLIC SIGHTING! Baby Patrick and Travis were at City Hall today envisioning how awesome the Chiefs Red Rally is going to be. Make plans to join the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce and City of St. Joseph, MO Government on July 27 as we're officially two days away from camp.

🎉 Congratulations to our recent recipient, Mary Jo Shaver, RN, from the Intensive Care Unit at Mosaic Life Care at St. Joseph, Medical Center. The DAISY Award® For Extraordinary Nurses is part of the DAISY Foundation's programs to recognize the super-human efforts nurses perform every day. Last month, Mary Jo was nominated for going above and beyond for one of her patients. Mary Jo’s nomination reads:

“Our lives changed April 14 when our loved one became extremely ill in the ICU and unfortunately succumbed to his illness. However, while we grieve our loss, we are also so fortunate for the care and experience we had as a family. Mary Jo is a nurse we will never forget. From the time Mary Jo started her shift, she made sure she made us feel like our loved one was her only patient, even though we know she had others. The care that Mary Jo provided was nothing short of angelic. Mary Jo prayed with us every time a pastor came by, which was frequently. She spoke with the doctor for us every time we requested. She sat down at the bedside and talked with us, cried with us, hugged us, reassured us and advised us. Even though we both work in health care, being on the other side of things was very different for us. Even though we knew everything that was going on, we still needed the education and reassurance that she provided.

“Toward the final moments we had with our loved one, Mary Jo allowed all 15 of us in the room to hold him, to pray and to sing hymns. She sat down in the room, out of the way, and waited for everyone to agree on when morphine could be administered to help with his transition. She never left our side when we needed her, and boy, did we need her. I can assure you that while we have no complaints about any other staff we encountered in the hospital, Mary Jo was exactly who we needed that day. She has a true gift and will always remain a special part of our lives. We will never forget her because of her truly amazing and compassionate care.”

Please join us in congratulating Mary Jo for receiving The DAISY Award® For Extraordinary Nurses! To nominate the outstanding nurse in your life, complete the form on the Mosaic website at myMLC.com/daisy.

Today is International Yoga Day, and people worldwide will be striking warrior poses to celebrate. In this corner of the world, Mosaic recognizes yoga as a powerful tool for improving physical and mental well-being and can be especially beneficial for those with a cancer diagnosis.

“Yoga helps cancer patients, and survivors by reducing fatigue, improving sleep and decreasing pain,” says Jess Bledsoe, Mosaic physical therapy assistant and yoga instructor. “Additionally, it supports mental health by decreasing anxiety and enhancing overall emotional well-being.”

Mosaic Cancer Care offers free yoga classes every Tuesday from 4 – 5 p.m. in St. Joseph. It is open to any current or past patient, family member, caregiver or friend.

Call (816) 271-7017 to make a reservation. Check out other cancer-related events at https://www.mymlc.com/Main/Service/cancer-care/cancer-care-events/.

Congratulations to all that are nominated! We are excited to have two of our nurses nominated!
