Kansas City’s Kemper Arena will soon be renamed Mosaic Arena.

In a news release, officials say Mosaic Life Care on Tuesday finalized an initial agreement with Foutch Brothers, LLC, to become the Naming Rights Sponsor of the historic Kemper Arena in Downtown Kansas City.

Upon finalization, Kemper Arena will become Mosaic Arena.

“The commitment of Mosaic Life Care is a symbolic first step for our redevelopment of the former Kemper Arena. A partner like Mosaic will be a catalyst to launch our youth sports project in the Stockyards District,” said Steve Foutch, CEO of Foutch Brothers, LLC.

In addition to naming rights, Mosaic will also open an on-site medical clinic in the facility that will be open to the public. Other services will include, but are not limited to, sports medicine consultations, urgent care, and massage therapy. The opening of this clinic signifies a big step forward as Mosaic continues to expand its footprint into the Kansas City Metro area.

“Improving population health within the communities we serve and helping people individually adopt a lifestyle focused on health and wellness is the very core of how Mosaic Life Care is providing a new kind of health care,” said Mark Laney, MD, CEO of Mosaic Life Care. “This partnership allows us not only to expand health-care services in this area slated for tremendous growth and development, but also supports our vision to transform communities.”

Mosaic Life Care, a health system headquartered in St. Joseph, Mo., operates seven primary care clinics in Kansas City’s Northland offering urgent care, outpatient services and specialty care. Mosaic Life Care’s approach to health care is focused on creating healthier communities by looking at health care beyond traditional physical health.

Mosaic’s providers look at the patient as a whole – not just the set of symptoms currently present. Also focusing on preventive care, Mosaic strives to provide excellent sports medicine services to keep people active, which is why the new partnership is so important to the organization.

“Anything we can do to promote community wellness and staying active is important to us,” said Dr. Laney. “This new facility goes a long way toward helping Kansas City do just that.”
