Since its founding in 1899, Calvary Hospital has been
devoted to providing 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 through its
acute inpatient, outpatient, home care, hospice services,
nursing home hospice and wound care services. Through its
Palliative Care Institute, Calvary strives to transmit its
exceptional knowledge of caring for the advanced cancer
patient to other health care professionals, through research
and education. The National Cancer Institute designated
Calvary as the International Standard of Excellence for
Palliative Care.
