Mosaic in Omaha

Just like a mosaic, Mosaic is made up of unique employees, each bringing their own talent, ideas, and personalities to the table. When we bring those pieces together, we create a beautiful, cohesive, and powerful picture.

That is exactly what the One Mosaic Award is all about—recognizing the incredible team members who champion a diverse environment and our organization's core values, which help unite us as one team.

This week, we are offering congratualtions to this year's Mosaic in Omaha One Mosaic Award winners!

Meet our Winners: Nash for Connection.

"Since joining Day Services this year, Nash has been a transformative force. He doesn’t just provide 'supervision'; he champions true community inclusion. A standout example of his dedication occurred during a recent outing to the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge and the Great Plains Black History Museum.

When Park Rangers mentioned a scavenger hunt program where participants could earn pins and backpacks, Nash didn’t just let it be a passing comment. He recognized the spark of excitement in the group and turned it into a mission. Over the following weeks, Nash went above and beyond to coordinate visits to various sites across Omaha, ensuring the group could maximize their participation.

The result was more than just a collection of pins; it was a profound sense of pride and achievement. The individuals were beaming, showing off their backpacks and eagerly narrating their adventures to anyone who would listen. Nash didn’t just take them on an outing; he gave them a sense of belonging and a goal to conquer."

Ray was rocking some awesome socks this week! 🌟

We had a fun theater workshop with Ms. Sara and WhyArts Inc. yesterday! We warmed up with a "Shakedown" and "Pass the Move" game. Then followed that up with some improv games including "What's in your box?" and "That's Me!"

We were also joined by student volunteers from St. Patrick's Parish - Elkhorn, NE and look forward to having them join us for other adventures this summer!

As states face difficult decisions about Medicaid funding, Mosaic continues to advocate for the investment in home- and community-based services. In our latest blog, President and CEO Linda Timmons shares why it’s important: Long-term care is too expensive for most families to afford on their own, and people with disabilities, like anyone else, deserve a say in what their lives look like.

We had a wonderful time volunteering at the Stephen Center today!

We were able to meet some of the residents and work together for rock and picture painting inspirational moments for the summer.

Happy June! We had another great class with Brandon and Adaptive Physical Fitness today.

With some new friends joining, we know it's going to be a great summer of fitness! 💪

We love it when friends get a chance to get new gear -- especially if it's Husker Gear!

Go Big Red!!
