After 39 years of providing quality hospice care in Wisconsin, Agrace is expanding across the state line. We have opened an office building at 7290 Argus Drive in Rockford, and are now serving patients in several counties in northern Illinois
Why expand to Illinois? There is opportunity for greater hospice utilization in northern Illinois, and our beautiful, homelike Janesville inpatient unit is only a 40-minute drive from Rockford, which has no similar facility.

On Friday, November 11th, Tom Cornelius was given a special assignment. It was Veteran’s Day, and Tom—an Army veteran and Agrace volunteer—was asked to deliver a Celebration of Life meal to hospice patient and fellow veteran living in Janesville.
Tom recently celebrated nine years volunteering at Agrace, making him a veteran volunteer, but he’s also a military veteran. Born and raised in Kansas City, Kansas, Tom was drafted into the military on his 20th birthday. He served in the Army from 1953-1955 during the Korean War. When asked about his military experience he said, “It was a commitment, a privilege, a good experience and I wouldn’t give it up for anything.”

Of the companies that answered questions on their diversity efforts, Agrace had the most notable practices.
When Lynne Sexten became president and CEO of Agrace Hospice and Palliative Care in 2012, one of the first things she noticed was that the staff, volunteers and people served by Agrace lacked diversity. She quickly assembled a team to address it.

MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) – Agrace Hospice Care is getting help from a group of goats who are cleaning up their unwanted plant overgrowth.
This is the second year Agrace has hired the goats to come in and clean up their brush. They say it only costs about $3 a day and allows them to get rid of unwanted plants without the use of chemicals.
The Green Goats is a service based out of Kenosha and Green County Wisconsin. Depending on how much land the goats are hired to clear, you can rent their services for days at a time.
