 Calvary Hospital, the nation’s only acute care specialty hospital devoted to the palliative care of adult patients with advanced cancer, is proud to announce the expansion of its services with the opening of Calvary Hospital-The Brooklyn Campus at Lutheran Medical Center, on October 16, 2001.
Currently located in the Bronx, New York, Calvary has been the model for the relief of cancer pain and symptoms for more than a century. Through its inpatient, outpatient, hospice, and home care services, Calvary serves more than 3,500 patients and families annually.
Calvary Hospital-The Brooklyn Campus, a 25-bed "hospital-within-a- hospital," is the first of its kind in New York. Organized, staffed, and operated by Calvary Hospital, this $5.1 million capital project occupies approximately 13,000 square feet on Lutheran Medical Center’s third floor, located at 150 55th Street, Brooklyn, New York. The Calvary/Lutheran partnership is an exciting and innovative opportunity for a community to receive much-needed services. Lutheran Medical Center is the ideal strategic partner for Calvary -- enhancing both institutions through shared knowledge and care.
