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 and hospice 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.
