Founder & Board Chair

Dr. Ruth Moore

Ruth Moore is an Integrative and Functional Medicine practitioner in Ellsworth, Maine.  She is also a Navy veteran who survived sexual assault in the military and fought for 27 years to get her VA benefits, endured discrimination in the workplace, developed stress based health conditions, was divorced, and became homeless.  Through grit, determination, and a supportive husband, she was able to work through these challenges and heal her spirit.

Chief Executive Officer

Alfred "Butch" Moore, Jr.

Butch is Ruth's husband and has seen the discrimination, gaslighting, and both verbal and emotional abuse that veterans endure from their families and communities.  

He has supported her recovery and both her vision and initiative to create a nonprofit that truly does help veterans.  When not in the office, he can be seen on an instinctive archery course of fishing for his pet Bass.

Are You interested in being a part of
the INTERNITY team?

Many times, as issues develop, INTERNITY is asked to provide support or services in various areas around the country.  We can do this by recruiting and supporting volunteers who want to help on a particular project or donate a particular service.  We are a 501c(3) non-profit organization and your contributions of time and talent would be greatly appreciated!
