Calvary is the nation’s only fully accredited acute-care specialty hospital devoted to providing palliative care to adult patients who have advanced cancer and other life-limiting illnesses.

More than 6,000 patients of all faith traditions are cared for annually by Calvary’s inpatient, home care and hospice services. Calvary is committed to providing excellent end-of-life medical care in full accordance with Halakha (Jewish law) for members of the Jewish community.

CalvaryCare is offered in four inpatient facilities in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens. This signature care is accessible to patients in private homes, assisted living and select nursing facilities in the greater New York area.

Calvary offers home care in all five boroughs and Westchester, Nassau and Rockland counties, and hospice services in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Nassau, Westchester and Rockland counties. Calvary@Home can, if needed, facilitate a seamless transition to becoming an inpatient at one of Calvary’s four locations.

Since 2001, Brooklyn residents have had access to CalvaryCare in several ways:

• Inpatient care at 25-bed Brooklyn Campus;

• Home care and home hospice where they reside;

• Participating in free bereavement support groups in Downtown Brooklyn for adults, children, tweens and teens.

Here’s what people say about Calvary:

“When my dad and then my mom were both stricken with cancer, we took them to the only place on earth that could relieve their suffering – Calvary – in the place they loved the most – Brooklyn. Both times, you gave them back the quality of life they deserved.” – Joey P.

“Your expert Home Hospice staff alleviated my mother’s suffering. The Calvary nurse, social worker, and rabbi provided wonderful compassion and religiously appropriate, first-rate, end-of-days medical care. You did not delay Mother’s death; you prolonged her quality of life.” – Leon M.

CalvaryCare is made possible by the generosity of supporters. To learn more, visit www.calvaryhospital.org. Stay in touch on Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram.
