Mosaic Cancer Care hosted a spa day in Saint Joseph for women undergoing cancer treatment, giving them a free day to relax and be pampered.

The second event offered a needed break from treatments like chemotherapy and radiation — and it shows the center's commitment to treating patients like family.

St. Joseph's Noah Cameron made his debut at Kauffman Stadium on Saturday by pitching 6 1/3 innings, allowing two hits and one run in a 1-0 loss to the Cardinals—earning a standing ovation before he was pulled from the game.
