(JANESVILLE, Wis.) – HospiceCare Inc. is pleased to announce that growth has allowed for the addition of a talented physician to the HospiceCare medical director team. Dena Green, M.D., joins HospiceCare’s team of medical directors in providing medical services to patients with life-limiting conditions. These services are provided to patients in their homes throughout Dane, Green, Jefferson, Rock and Walworth counties as well as at the HospiceCare Inc. inpatient unit in Madison.
With the addition of Green and four other medical directors between June and November, HospiceCare Inc. will have the ability to expand community-based visits and lend more support to existing programs, such as the Palliative Care Fellowship, a program that was developed in 2009 in partnership with the VA Hospital and UW Hospital & Clinics.
Dr. Green has more than 15 years of experience in the medical field, with more than six years focusing on hematology/oncology. Green returns to HospiceCare Inc. after three years at Mercy Hospital where she practiced full-time in oncology, established a palliative care program and continued to volunteer as a medical director for HospiceCare Inc.
HospiceCare Inc. is a nonprofit, community-based hospice dedicated to providing physical, emotional and spiritual support to patients and families dealing with life-limiting illnesses. With offices in Madison and Janesville, HospiceCare serves residents in Dane, Green, Jefferson, Rock and Walworth counties.
