Mosaic Life Care has broken ground on a new women’s health clinic in Maryville.
More than 100 attended the groundbreaking ceremony hosted by Mosaic Medical Center – Maryville and Mosaic Life Care – Philanthropy. Mosaic states in a news release the clinic will offer preventive care, obstetrics, gynecology and wellness support.
Mosaic Medical Center – Maryville also announced it has received a $100,000 Rural Planning Grant from Rural Maternity and Obstetrics Management Strategies Program, which is funded by the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA). Through this grant, outreach clinics have already been set up in Bedford and Albany to offer OB patients greater access to care.
The Maryville clinic will offer services that women in northwest Missouri have had to drive long distances to receive.
“I see the disparities in women’s healthcare in this region and across the state. Women’s health care is expensive and difficult to deliver, which is why so many near us have closed their maternity unit doors,” Megan Jennings, director of development for the St. Francis Foundation said. “Today, I am so proud to say through the efforts and dedication of many, we aren’t saying when we close, but rather, let’s grow, let’s extend our arm to other communities, let’s be the solution.”
The new clinic, made possible by community support through the St. Francis Foundation and a significant investment from Mosaic Life Care, is set to open in late summer of 2026.
