Calvary Hospital
Calvary is the nation’s only fully accredited acute-care specialty hospital devoted to providing palliative care to adult patients with advanced cancer and other life-limiting illnesses. More than 6,000 patients—of of all faith traditions—are cared for annually by Calvary’s inpatient, home care, and hospice services. CalvaryCareSM is offered at three inpatient facilities: 200-bed hospital in the Bronx, 25-bed Brooklyn Satellite at NYU Lutheran, and at The Dawn Greene Hospice, a 10-bed unit at Mary Manning Walsh Home in Manhattan.
CalvaryCareSM is also available to patients in private homes or for those who reside in select nursing facilities in the greater New York area. We offer home care in all five boroughs of New York City as well as Westchester, Nassau, Rockland and Putnam counties, and hospice services in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Nassau, Westchester and Rockland counties. As needed, Calvary@Home can facilitate a seamless transition to becoming an inpatient at three locations in the Bronx, Brooklyn or Manhattan. To date, Calvary Hospice has provided short-term inpatient care to more than 500 patients at The Dawn Greene Hospice at Mary Manning Walsh Home.
Calvary and Yeshiva University have collaborated on a pioneering initiative to provide observant Jewish families with the information they need to obtain quality end-of-life medical care in full accordance with Halakha (Jewish law). Calvary restored a 135-year-old historic Torah scroll housed at the Hospital’s Bronx campus. The scroll, on permanent loan from the Memorial Scrolls Trust in London, is now once again kosher for use in services and Jewish rituals.
CalvaryCareSM is made possible by the generosity of our supporters. To support our mission with a charitable gift, please visit www.calvaryhospital.org/ptgifts.
