From its inception in 1899, Calvary
Hospital has been devoted to providing palliative care
to adult patients in the advanced stages of cancer,
addressing the symptoms of the disease, not its cure.
Operated in connection with the Archdiocese of New York,
Calvary is a voluntary, not-for-profit hospital, embodying a
tradition of caring through its many programs and services.
The cornerstone of Calvary’s program of service is its
philosophy of compassionate care to meet the emerging
physical, psychosocial, and spiritual needs of both patients
and families through the provision of acute inpatient,
outpatient, home and hospice services (through
Calvary@Home), wound care services and satellite services.
Through the Palliative Care Institute the Hospital transmits
to other health care professionals, through research and
education, the knowledge and competence which it has
developed in the care of the advanced cancer patient. The
National Cancer Institute designated Calvary as the
International Standard of Excellence for Palliative Care.
