Laura Mosby LCSW and Kevin Dahill

As chaplains we are called to envision new ways to partner with the leaders of our organizations and to advocate for the diverse populations we serve. This plenary session features two top health care administrators: Laura Mosby LCSW, director of organizational integrity for Suncoast Hospice, Clearwater, FL; and Kevin Dahill, president and CEO of the Suburban Hospital Alliance, Long Island, NY. They will share their experiences of successful collaborations with chaplaincy and provide insight into management trends and mission goals. Their wisdom will enable us to articulate new ways to contribute to the mission of our organizations, to boldly share the value of our professional expertise, and to learn to communicate more effectively with administration for the good of the "soul" of the organizations we serve.

Laura Mosby, licensed clinical social worker and certified hospice administrator, is the director of organizational integrity for Suncoast Hospice Institute in Clearwater, FL. She is charged with the development and maintenance of organization-wide quality programs, championing process improvement efforts, and assisting in areas of compliance. A certified hospice administrator, she has 20 years of experience in hospice and end-of-life care in clinical program administration, program development and community outreach. She also was an adjunct faculty member with the Department of Gerontology and the School of Social Work at the University of South Florida.

Kevin Dahill is president and CEO of the Suburban Hospital Alliance, which includes the Nassau-Suffolk Hospital Council and the Northern Metropolitan Hospital Association. The alliance advocates for the suburban hospitals on Long Island and in the lower and mid-Hudson Valley. Dahill also serves as executive vice president of the Healthcare Association of New York State. He shares his health care administrative knowledge with numerous organizations and sits on a variety of health care task forces, including Action Long Island, the Long Island Association and the Hauppauge Industrial Association.

Ewan Kelly

Seismic shifts in the way health care is and will be delivered in the Western world are occurring in response to financial and demographic challenges. Peoples understanding and expression of their spirituality is changing. Traditional chaplaincy models of acute one-to-one crisis intervention in institutional settings may no longer be fit for purpose as the dominant approach to promote spiritual wellbeing. Ewan Kelly will share the strategic response of Scottish health care chaplains to such challenges and opportunities, with the aim of stimulating creative and innovative thinking among participants as to how chaplaincy may develop and maximize its impact in their context. Ewan Kelly is a former junior doctor who has spent most of his working life as a health care chaplain and a university teacher. Kellys experience includes chaplaincy in two large acute-care hospitals and a hospice in Scotland. Currently, he works with NHS Education for Scotland on the strategic development of spiritual care and health care chaplaincy in NHS Scotland. NHS Scotland, the Scottish National Health Service, is the country's publicly funded health care system. In addition, Kelly has part-time positions as a senior lecturer teaching pastoral theology at the Universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. He is the author of Marking Short Lives (Peter Lang 2007), Meaningful Funerals (Mowbray 2008) and Personhood and Presence (T&T Clark 2012) and the co-author of Spiritual Care in Healthcare: Reflections on Practice (Radcliffe 2011), which was highly commended in the Basis of Medicine category at the annual British Medical Association Book Awards 2012.
