The Calvary nurse, social worker, and rabbi provided wonderful compassion and religiously appropriate, first-rate, end-of-life medical care. You did not delay Mother’s death; you prolonged her quality of life.”
—Leon M.
“My sister Eileen possessed an incredible love and enthusiasm for life. When we realized that there was no cure for her terminal cancer, there was no better place for to spend her final days than Calvary. he staff treated Eileen with the integrity, dignity and grace that she deserved…even to her very last day. The staff was extraordinary in their care, as if God had hand-picked them to work there. Calvary celebrated her life until the very end in a way that only Calvary can.”
—Michael C. “I’ve been a registered nurse for 38 years. My mom spent her final days receiving Calvary’s remarkable end-of-life care at The Dawn Greene Hospice at Mary Manning Walsh Home in Manhattan. Your staff relieved Mom’s enormous pain and embraced both of us with comfort and love. I could not have asked for — nor could I have given better care — to my mom.”
—Carolyn M. Calvary is committed to educating the Jewish community about how they may obtain quality end-of-life medical care in full accordance with Halakha (Jewish law). In 2016, Calvary restored a 135-year-old historic Torah scroll on permanent loan from the Memorial Scrolls Trust in London. The scroll, housed at the Hospital’s Bronx campus, is now used in religious services and Jewish rituals.
