A Middleton man?s $1.3 million gift to Agrace HospiceCare in Fitchburg will help expand a training program for doctors specializing in hospice and palliative care. The endowment will help the one-year fellowship program expand from two doctors this year to four next year, said Dr. Bruce Agneberg, vice president of medical services at Agrace. The fellows train at UW Hospital, Madison’s Veterans Hospital and Agrace, learning how to manage symptoms and pain at the end of life, Agneberg said. Such fellowships soon will be required for board certification in hospice and palliative care.
