Hello, I'm Chuck Behrens and I'm a professional speaker who presently works for Hospice as a Chaplain/Counselor.

Chuck Behrens is a professional speaker who's been working with Hospice as a chaplain since 1994.  Chuck has often been sought as a Keynote and a Concurrent Sessions Presentor locally, Regionally and Nationally on End of Life Issues, Communication and Leadership.  Chuck has two published books and is working on a third.  Chuck firmly believes that speeches aren't meant to be 'heard' so much as experienced.  Chuck endeavors to continue to speak/present on a very regular basis and to publish both in the context of hospice and spirituality topics as well "HELP-SELF" issues.

Chaplain/Counselor/Speaker at Hospice of the Western Reservce

October 1994

I was the Sr. Minister at Westlake Christian Church and a part-time Chaplain at St. John West Shore Hospital when I began to get to know hospice patients and the staff that served them. It was then that I switched from being a full-time pastor of a church to a part-time pastor at North Royalton Christian Church and a part time Chaplain to a full-time Spiritual Care Coordinator at Hospice of the Western Reserve

Sr. Minister at North Royalton Christian Church

January 1995

I wasn't ready for the pew yet when I resigned my position at Westlake Christian Church to become a chaplain with hospice so I was able to take a position with North Royalton Christian Church. We work with a 60-second contract because I don't want to be there one minute longer than what they want. We vowed to be together for 'better or worse" They couldn't do any better and I couldn't do any worse!
