Transitioning to end-of-life care can be emotionally challenging, especially when someone has lived a life marked by determination and independence. Agrace, local nonprofit provider of hospice care and related health services, understands this and prioritizes dignity, respect and autonomy for its patients.
This year, Agrace is honoring the memory of a Janesville resident, Gen Gray, whose experience in hospice care respected her independence and desire for autonomy, with its “Light Up a Life” annual fundraising campaign.

As reported in In Business Magazine’s Power 100 publication:
Thanks to Lynne Sexten’s leadership, Agrace has evolved along with the health care market. Since becoming chief executive officer in 2012, Agrace has grown to include four additional health services, including in-home care, that complement its hospice program, and she has expanded its service are from five to 19 counties. Prior to joining Agrace, her market radar was tuned at UnityPoint Health-Meriter in Madison, where she served as executive vice president and chief operating officer and was responsible for all inpatient and outpatient clinical services. While there, Sexten oversaw the development of a new multispecialty medical group that ultimately grew to include more than 120 physicians with eight clinic locations.

Last year, I wrote about a hospice issue in answering a letter from a reader. I’d like to repeat that column, with some edits, a nip and tuck here and there, because of something that happened to a recent patient — he went into a terrible hospice.
Dear Doc: My mother is failing, with lots of medical problems that just have made her life miserable. She’s in pain all the time, she’s depressed, and her heart is failing. She was a lifelong smoker and is on oxygen. She can barely walk across the room without getting short of breath.
Her doctor said she would qualify for hospice. Most of the family is against it — they say mom is “giving up.” I think it might be a good idea, but I don’t want to go against what everyone else is saying. What do you think? — Sad reader
