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.
