As a Mosaic Life Care caregiver, you are invited to support Mosaic Life Care Foundation through its Healthy Today, Healthy Tomorrow and Healthy Together initiatives. Thanks to the generosity of careGIVERS like you, we are making a difference for those in our region.
We ask for your support so that together, we may create a Healthy Today, a Healthy Tomorrow and be Healthy Together. As you are making your Annual Benefits Enrollment elections, you will also be given the opportunity to make your pledge during that time. If you have questions, please contact Philanthropy by calling (816) 271- 6792.
Three Areas of Giving
Healthy Today
Mosaic is a life-care organization caring for patients in a healing environment. Healthy Today supports Compassionate Connected Care which ensures our patients and their families receive extra support to help make their stay comfortable and peaceful. Healthy Today also brings encouragement to our caregivers as they provide exceptional care for our patients.
Healthy Tomorrow
By educating our children today, we create a Healthy Tomorrow. Through our sixth grade Civic Engagement Immersions and our high school e2 Fellowship, emPowerU programming ignites imagination and innovation to strengthen the next generation of our region’s leaders.
Healthy Together
Through the Touchstone program, we are Healthy Together. This effort supports caregivers who are in a financial crisis due to an unexpected change, such as a spouse long a job, a sick child or caregiver illness. Quite often, help is provided with utilities, rent or mortgage. A Healthy Together contribution allows caregivers to help caregivers during some of life’s biggest events.
