About the Middlesex Health Hospice Program
Middlesex Health Hospice Program cares for patients who face life-limiting illnesses and their families. More than nursing care, the program focuses on emotional and spiritual support, as well as managing pain and symptoms. Our community recognizes the importance of the program and has generously supported the Hospice Golf Tournament hosted by the Portland Golf Course since 1987.

Fred Norton: The Man Behind the Middlesex Health Hospice Golf Tournament
The late Fred Norton is remembered by friends and family as a successful businessman, a veteran and a sports enthusiast, but it was his experience as a survivor of colon cancer in his late 40s that inspired him to make a lasting impact on the community. Combining his love for golf with his desire to serve his community, Fred, who died in 2019 at the age of 91, co-founded the Middlesex Health Hospice Golf Tournament with John J. Kelley, Jr. This annual fundraiser has supported the health system’s Hospice Program for more than 37 years and allows Fred’s legacy to live on.
It’s important to Fred’s family to continue his work with the Hospice Golf Tournament. His daughters, Jill Norton and Cherie Norton, and his grandson, BenTierney, now all serve on the tournament’s committee, which plans the annualevent.
“He was very proud of the golf tournament and very dedicated to it,” says Jill Norton.
