Meet the Team
Creating Impact.

But what truly defines us is our legacy. Inspired by Lillian Bergmann’s founding vision in 1965, we carry forward a tradition of care that treats every individual not as a case, but as a person—with goals, gifts, and stories worth celebrating. Many of our team members have deep personal ties to the community and to the individuals we serve. We show up not just as professionals, but as advocates, mentors, and neighbors.

​

We pride ourselves on collaboration, adaptability, and heart. Whether coordinating services, mentoring peers, or building inclusive partnerships, our team is committed to walking alongside each individual—honoring their choices, celebrating their progress, and building a future where everyone belongs.

​

At Bergmann Center, legacy lives through every relationship—and every life we help empower.  Please do CONTACT US!
