KANSAS CITY, Mo. (December 20, 2017) Mosaic Life Care announced Wednesday it has released the naming rights sponsorship for Kemper Arena.

As previously reported, Mosaic Life Care announced a transaction that sends six of Mosaic’s eight Northland health clinics to Saint Luke’s.

“As we built-out our Kansas City strategy, the Kemper Arena sponsorship was a terrific complement,” said Mark Laney, MD, CEO of Mosaic Life Care. “Now that Saint Luke’s has acquired the majority of our thriving Kansas City health clinics, it makes good financial sense for us to relinquish the naming rights to the arena. We have been working with Steve Foutch and his team throughout this process.”

Foutch Brothers, LLC, purchased Kemper Arena from the city of Kansas City earlier this year. The company expects to invest millions of dollars constructing a multi-purpose sports complex open to all ages and skill levels.

“While we’re very excited about our plans for Kemper, we’re disappointed that Mosaic won’t be our sponsorship partner,” said Steve Foutch, CEO, Foutch Brothers. “We completely understand their rationale and we wish them continued success.”
