(MADISON, Wis.) – HospiceCare Inc. is pleased to announce that growth has allowed for the addition of a talented physician to the HospiceCare medical director team. Kathy Jo Williams, 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 in Dane, Green, Jefferson, Rock and Walworth counties as well as at the HospiceCare Inc. inpatient unit in Madison.

The addition of Williams and three other medical directors between June and November of 2010, allows HospiceCare Inc. 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. Williams has more than 10 years of experience in the medical field, most recently practicing palliative medicine at the Marshfield Clinic in Marshfield, Wisconsin, a position she held for more than six years. She is board certified in Hospice and Palliative Medicine.

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.
