Hospice of Palm Beach County Fellowship Program Celebrates First Graduate

Hospice of Palm Beach County is proud to announce Dr. Kate Brazzale has completed her fellowship in hospice and palliative medicine at Hospice of Palm Beach County. Dr. Kate Brazzale, the first to go through Hospice of Palm Beach County’s new fellowship program, completed the program in July and began working as part of the Hospice of Palm Beach County staff in August.

“Dr. Brazzale has made invaluable contributions to our team,” said Dave Fielding, President and CEO of Hospice of Palm Beach County. “We are proud to have her permanently join us and know our patients and families will truly benefit from the outstanding care she provides.”

Dr. Brazzale attended medical school at University College London and worked in London before getting married and moving to the United States. She did her residency at Shands University of Florida and was chief resident in her last year there. In July of 2008 she permanently moved to Palm Beach County and started the fellowship program. Dr. Brazzale, always the multi-tasker, got her family medicine board certification during her fellowship and had a baby in November of 2008.

The Palliative Medicine Fellowship at Hospice of Palm Beach County program prepares selected physicians for board certification in hospice and palliative medicine. Each year, a committee selects one fellow for participation in the one-year program.
