News & Reminders

MoWest Night at the Mustangs

We celebrated Christmas in July with the St. Joseph Mustangs on their final home game of the season. We loved seeing so many Griffons in our community and can’t wait to do it all again next summer! Check out the full photo gallery from this event on our SmugMug page.

Madam President Camp

We were honored to host Madam President Camp in July. Several Griffons served as mentors and led campers through activities that built leadership skills, communication skills, and confidence in an interactive camp setting.

Nursing Scholars of Promise

We recently announced our first Nursing Scholars of Promise class. The 12 students selected will receive three-quarters of the cost of earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing at MoWest. In exchange, the students agree to work at Mosaic Life Care for four years following graduation.

Congratulations to these future Griffons!
