From its inception in 1899, Calvary
Hospital is
the only fully-accredited acute care specialty hospital for
advanced cancer patients in the United States and serves
people of all faith traditions and regardless of ability to
pay. Calvary Hospital has provided the gold-standard of
care as seen at its campuses in the Bronx and Brooklyn; in
our expanding presence in Manhattan at the Mary Manning
Walsh Home which includes a new 10-bed hospice to open
around July 1st this year, and throughout our area with the
Calvary@Home program which brings quality, compassionate
care to thousands of homes. Calvary, designated by the
National Cancer Institute as the International Standard of
Excellence for palliative care, has been at the forefront of
advocacy for advanced cancer patients and shares its
leadership in palliative care with other physicians and
hospitals through its Palliative Care Institute. Calvary’s
Center for Curative and Palliative Wound Care is one of the
metro area’s largest wound centers, providing the highest
quality care with exceptional results for those with
diabetic or other illness related wounds. Calvary’s ongoing
commitment to provide a robust program of services to those
in need is reflected in two signature programs: an
innovative collaboration with Yeshiva University to provide
information and access to the best end-of-life care to
Orthodox Jews in the metropolitan area; and, the expansion
of its children’s bereavement program to Manhattan.
