Executive Leadership Team
Executive Director
Bette Cooper
— Inspired by something
infinitely greater than ourselves and founded in spiritual care, The
Chaplaincy serves from a place of faith in all of its programs. Our
convictions say to those of us who work here that our vocation serves a
purpose greater than ourselves. In that, we recognize the sacredness
of the work we do together. The Chaplaincy is a place where our souls
fill our individual roles within the organization.
I am privileged to serve with a board and leadership
team that embraces the deeper meaning of our work. I am humbled and
honored by the relationship of this organization
to our larger community, always aware of their
devotion to the work we do together. Over our thirty six year history,
our community has continued to provide strength and direction to our
mission.
Each day I am inspired by the stories of our work and
I am grateful to be
a part of it.

As
Director of The Chaplaincy Hospice Program, I feel both humbled and
privileged to lead our team of Hospice providers. The dedication and passion
that they bring to this work is truly amazing. As a community based program,
our connection to the community stems from our Mission Statement and Values.
The base of that Value system is supported by Humility and a Passion for the
Work. We then add our Connection to the Community, Supportive Work
Environment and our commitment to the Personal and Spiritual Growth of our
staff. These building blocks support our highest Value, providing Impeccable
Client Care. By making a connection to our patients and families we can be
present for them during this part of life’s journey. Hospice…it’s about
“living life to the fullest”!
Interim Director of Chaplain Services

Bill Lotz
– I have the privilege of working with the greatest
team of chaplains assembled anywhere. What a blessing to be the one who
enables others to be a blessing! Keeping our chaplain team equipped to do
their ministry in all of our varied settings is a ministry in itself. My
passion is to keep The Chaplaincy out there “on the edge” in ministry,
finding new places where God is at work in our community and seeing if we
can place a chaplain there to be the “face, hands, and feet” of ministry.
The Chaplaincy provides that spiritual connection to anyone, anytime,
anyplace in this great community.

Wes McIntyre
–
The leadership team at The
Chaplaincy seeks to look toward that which is greater than ourselves; that
which has been and is present within and among us since our inception; that
which inspires in us creativity, compassion, courage, and wisdom; that which
takes us beyond the poverty of our own opinions, viewpoints and egos and
centers us in a spirit of service to our community. We are faith based and
that means, among other things, we trust beyond ourselves for divine
guidance, providential leading, and inspired service. We are humbled when
we miss this divine presence and connection but we are also humbled when we
lead into that calling and discover a path that leaves us in awe, knowing
that what is occurring transcends us all. It is a privilege to work
together in service to our community.
