Suicide Awareness Event

Mosaic Medical Center–Maryville, in partnership with the University, Northwest Missouri Cooperative Mental Health Board, the Family Guidance Center and Northwest Health Services, is hosting a suicide awareness event featuring keynote speaker Drew Robinson. The event is free and open to the public.

Robinson, who was drafted to the Texas Rangers in 2010 as a fourth-round draft pick, survived a suicide attempt on April 16, 2020, with a handgun, resulting in the loss of his senses of smell and taste, and his right eye. His story was shared on ESPN+ in a documentary. Since then, he has begun using his platform and experiences to speak out about the importance of mental health.
