Mosaic Medical Center breaks ground on new women’s health clinic  

MARYVILLE, Mo. (KQTV) -- Mosaic Medical Center celebrated a big milestone as it opened a brand-new women’s health care space in Northwest Missouri. 

The clinic will be set up right inside the hospital—specifically in the administration hallway. Leaders said the project wouldn’t be happening without strong support from the community. 

Once complete, the new space will offer a full range of services, from preventive care to obstetrics, gynecology and wellness support, all designed with a patient-focused environment in mind. 

“So the whole continuum of women help women's health services are going to be provided here, from preventative care in terms of mammography and breast cancer screening,” said Dana Anderson, the chief operating officer at Mosaic.

She added, the new space will incorporate mental-health services as well as chronic-disease management.  

She explained that this project has been in the works for several years, with support from local women ambassadors who helped privately raise funds.  

“Lucky for us, Nodaway County and the City of Maryville are extremely supportive of the hospital. And so many of our community members have been involved in the development of this project for several years,” Anderson said.  

Anderson said Mosaic looks to improve health outcomes for women across the region and help reach those living in maternity-care deserts.  

“We hope we become a place for them (women) to receive their women's health services. Both preventative, you know, maternity. We see an increase in deliveries of babies in Maryville and beyond,” Anderson added.

During the ceremony, Mosaic staff and leaders marked the moment by literally breaking down walls with hammers to symbolize the start of construction. 

Anderson said the mid-November weather made the team rethink an outdoor event, so they held the celebration right inside the space where the clinic will eventually take shape.  

“What a better way for our community to see what it's going to look like than to be in the space, what it looks like today,” Anderson said. 

Guests and community members enjoyed refreshments as they got a look at what’s to come.  

Mosaic hopes the new clinic will become a cornerstone for accessible, high-quality care—meeting the needs of women throughout the region.
