Mosaic Life Care has gone blue in recognition of its frontline patient caregivers.
Mosaic says the color blue represents the courage, stamina, dedication, and love each caregiver demonstrates with their work.
Mosaic Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Davin Turner, says the display is a way for Mosaic to say thank you to a dedicated staff.
“We really want to continue to make sure that all our caregivers understand how much we value them and, frankly, from what I hear in the community, how much the community very much values the fact that they get up everyday and they come in here and they work and they take care of not only the COVID patients, understand we have 200 patients here that are not COVID patients that we’re providing care for,” Turner says.
Turner says Mosaic is bathing its hospitals in St. Joseph, Maryville, and Albany in blue light.
“We will have blue lights out on the exterior just in support of all the caregivers that are working here,” Turner says.
Mosaic says area residents are invited to drive to the Mosaic facilities in St. Joseph, Maryville, and Albany tonight between 6:30 and 7:45 and turn on their car lights as a signal to caregivers they appreciate them.
