Naylor Honored As Trustee Of The Year

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Serena Naylor, member of the Mosaic Life Care Board of Trustees, has been honored by the Missouri Hospital Association as Trustee of the Year for her service to both Mosaic Life Care and Mosaic Medical Center-Albany. Naylor was presented the award on Nov. 14 at MHA’s 102nd Annual Convention in Kansas City, Mo.

“Serena Naylor is a tireless supporter of Mosaic Life Care and her community of Albany, Mo.,” said Jon D. Doolittle, MHA President and CEO. “She understands the importance of the hospital to Albany, and as a board leader in both Albany and Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph, translates her passion into building value and access to care in communities throughout northwest Missouri.”

Naylor served as a board member of the hospital in Albany since 2003 and as chair since 2013. When the hospital, formerly Northwest Medical Center, affiliated with Mosaic Life Care — which she championed — she transitioned to chairing the hospital’s foundation board. In 2014, she joined the board of Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph, Mo.

During her tenure on the board, she has been influential in supporting and strengthening Mosaic Life Care under her banner of “keep local care, local.”

“In her 21 years of service to Mosaic Medical Center-Albany, its clinics, and Foundation Board, Serena supported and led change that resulted in the sustainability of our critical access hospital during a time of insecurity for health care organizations our size,” said Katie Dias, D.O., President, Mosaic Medical Center-Albany. “She has championed significant capital investments at our hospital and truly understands the need for quality care in our rural setting. Her work throughout Mosaic and in Albany shows her dedication and passion to care in our area.”
