For nearly 120 years, Calvary Hospital has devoted itself to one mission — addressing the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of terminally ill patients and their loved ones. We care for adult patients with advanced cancer as well as other life-limiting illnesses.
CalvaryCare® includes outstanding end-of-life in the inpatient setting, in the home setting, and supportive services for the entire family, including more than two dozen free bereavement support groups that meet weekly in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Manhattan.
CalvaryCare® is available on an inpatient basis at four facilities: 200-bed hospital in the Bronx; 25-bed Brooklyn Campus; The Dawn Greene Hospice, a 10-bed unit at Mary Manning Walsh Home in Manhattan; and Ozanam Hall of Queens Nursing Home.
Calvary Hospice offers home care and hospice in a variety of settings including private homes, nursing facilities and assisted living facilities. Short-term inpatient care at The Dawn Greene Hospice and Ozanam Hall is provided under the oversight of the Calvary Hospice Wherever Calvary delivers its care, the quality is the same as in its flagship Bronx location.
Founded in 1899, Calvary Hospital is the nation’s only fully accredited acute care specialty hospital singularly devoted to providing palliative care to adult patients with advanced and life-limiting illnesses, without regard to race, religion, or economic status.
Calvary’s continuum of care includes inpatient care, care of complex wounds, home care, hospice, nursing home hospice, bereavement care, and extensive support programs for patients, families, and friends. Each year, Calvary cares for thousands of patients and their families.
Calvary care is founded in the guiding principles of compassion, respect for the dignity of every patient, and non-abandonment of our patients and families. Our primary goal is to address the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the patient and their families.

Chaplains lead worship services regularly at our multi-faith chapel in the Bronx, visit the Brooklyn Campus regularly and provide individual counseling. They also perform sacraments and other religious rituals.
A Spanish-speaking ministry is available upon request. Spiritual care providers are also dedicated to caring for the spiritual needs of Calvary@Home patients, wherever they are receiving our care.
24/7 visiting hours

People who wish to stay overnight may do so in the patient’s room or in several rooms on the premises – at no charge. We understand that when a loved one is near the end of life, making it easy for family and friends to visit and be present, is a simple yet important thing to offer.
Family Care Center
