BETWEEN HOPE AND FAITH
Calvary Hospital’s mission is to care for adult patients with advanced
cancer and other life-limiting illnesses. Whether we care for people
as inpatients or in the comfort of their homes, Calvary employees are
dedicated to caring for the medical, emotional and spiritual needs of
our patients and their families.
We do not abandon them when they need us the most.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD AND PRESIDENT
From our humble beginning in 1899, Calvary has always been
a beacon to those seeking the best end-of-life care. We are proud of
our historical role within the Archdiocese of New York. However,
Calvary has embraced and welcomed patients and families from
all religions and faith traditions throughout our entire existence.
Whether we care for patients in our three inpatient facilities
or in the home setting, we are guided by our singular mission: to
bring Calvary’s compassionate, expert care to terminally ill people
suffering from advanced cancer and other life-limiting illnesses,
and to care for the families with the same love and sensitivity we
provide to patients. We are committed to ensuring that the last
moments in life for the patients are what they and their families
would like them to be.

Wherever we care for our many patients, we do so with
the utmost sensitivity to their hopes and their faith, whatever
that might be. For many families, their experiences with their
loved ones at the end of life are balanced between hope
and faith. That’s why we decided to make this year’s theme,

O U R C O R E VA L U E S
Calvary Hospital’s mission has always remained the same since our
earliest days more than 117 years ago: to bring our signature expert care
to people who need it most.
Our core values are compassion, non-abandonment, dignity and love.
Our steadfast focus on these principles has helped make Calvary an
international model of palliative and end-of-life care.
This was no accident. Our secret is simple: Calvary envelops our patients
and their families in a “community of care.” We care for the whole person.
However long we care for these patients, we know that it is our responsibility
to manage their pain and symptoms, and make each day as comfortable
as possible for them.

RESTORING LIFE TO A SACRED TORAH SCROLL
During World War II, many sacred Torah Scrolls were confiscated from
Jewish communities in Czechoslovakia. In 1964, the Westminster
Synagogue in London, England, agreed to receive 1,564 Torah Scrolls from
Prague. Most were significantly damaged. They established the Memorial
Scrolls Trust to restore the scrolls and distribute them to communities
throughout the world. The Memorial Scrolls Trust entrusted Scroll No. 515,
from the town of Taus-Domazlice, dating from 1880, to Calvary Hospital.
Calvary is proud to be the home of the historic Scroll No. 515. In July 2015,
Calvary embarked on a restoration of the 135-year-old Torah scroll. A refugee
from the Holocaust, this scroll is getting restored, thanks to a grant from
the Charles R. and Winifred R. Weber Foundation, so that it can once again
be used in services. The project will be completed by the end of 2016.

MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE MEDICAL DIRECTOR
Entering 53 years at Calvary Hospital often brings back memories
of my earliest encounters with this institution as a small medical
program with a huge mission for the city of New York. I covered
the first day after the new year with absolutely no pleasure and
no desire to spend another day. My thoughts were with the
wonderful possibility of initiating a kidney transplant program in
an Ivy League institution which was anxious to develop a renal
dialysis program in conjunction with transplantation, having just
completed an astonishing invention which has gone on as the
Brescia-Cimino arteriovenous fistula.
For all of these years no better replacement has ever been
invented. Even at the present time, Medicare and Medicaid will
not reimburse any physician or institution which does not use
this fistula as the initial approach to hemodialysis. As a young
man with this in the future, preparations were being considered
for transplantation of my wife and family to the new site. If

Dear Friends,
It is a pleasure to thank you for your generous support of Calvary’s mission of
compassionate, comprehensive care for those near the end of life, and care for the loved
ones of our patients. In my first full year as Chairman of the Calvary Fund, I have
been touched time and again by the outpouring of support from donors who have been
giving to Calvary for years on end, and also those who gave for the first time in 2015.
Whether you made an outright gift or included Calvary in your estate planning, you
are making a real difference for those who turn to us at a critical juncture in their lives.
As you read through this Annual Report, please know that your imprint is on every
page, just as your impact is felt across Calvary’s entire care continuum. We could not
provide our special care without you. You inspire Calvary’s leaders and caregivers, and
you enable them to sustain Calvary as a place of hope – a place “where life continues.”
Thank you.
Carlos M. Hernandez

Thank You to Our 2015 Donors

contributed to the benefit of our patients and their families. Thank you all for your generosity.

In a year marked by leadership transitions, the Calvary Fund raised $7.7 million in gifts and new
pledges in 2015, for the mission of Calvary Hospital. Carlos M. Hernandez, in his first full year
as Chairman of the Calvary Fund, oversaw a successful 2015 Awards Gala, which raised nearly
$900,000. He also provided steady leadership, as the Fund’s Directors feted Vincent J. Spinelli
upon his retirement as Executive Vice President, after nearly 14 years in that role, and then
welcomed Timothy P. Barr as the Fund’s new administrator.
The year was also the first time several Fund Directors rotated off the Board, in compliance
with new term-limit governance guidelines. We bade farewell to Henry J. Humphreys, who served
on the Board for 23 years; Theodore Jadick (30 years); and William McKenna (14 years), with
profound gratitude for their dedication to Calvary’s mission. We look forward to working with
them in various capacities in the future, as we continue to uphold the Fund’s mission and success.
We welcomed Michael J. A. Smith onto the Board in 2015. Michael has been a member of
Calvary’s Professional Advisors Council (PAC) for many years, and is a wonderful champion of
our mission. Michael has more than forty years of experience in the trust industry, in all aspects
of estate and trust administration and compliant fiduciary investing. He serves as a consultant
to individuals, families, and trust companies on a wide range of fiduciary issues, best practices,
and litigation issues, and he is frequently called to testify as an expert witness in trust litigation.
We are fortunate to add his skills to the Fund Board.
On a sad note, we mourned the loss of Ed Gilligan, who received Calvary’s highest honor,
the Calvary Medal, at our 2012 Awards Gala. Mr. Gilligan, age 56, was President of American
Express, a firm he served in various leadership positions for 35 years. He also was a devoted
husband and father of four children. We will long remember Mr. Gilligan’s support for Calvary
and his gracious presence on our Gala podium.
Over the first full year of operations of The Dawn Greene Hospice, the program of care
developed fully, and new partnerships came to fruition with our neighboring Manhattan
hospitals and academic medical centers. We opened seven “scatter” beds at the three
campuses of New York Presbyterian – three at Weill Cornell, three at the
Columbia campus, and one at the Allen Hospital in Inwood –
where we now provide inpatient hospice care.

Inpatient hospice care allows us to expand from the 225 inpatient beds we provide in the
Bronx and at our Brooklyn satellite to additional regions of the metropolitan area. Through
home hospice and home health care, we cared for more than 2,700 patients and families, in
all regions of the metropolitan area. Nursing home hospice, available in facilities in the Bronx,
Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Westchester, also allows us to care for people who otherwise
would not have access to the benefits of hospice care. Many Calvary@Home families seek our
care because we offer a full continuum, which ensures that their loved ones will receive the
most appropriate level of care throughout the course of illness.
In fall 2015, we established bereavement support for adults on the Upper East Side of
Manhattan, in partnership with the administration of St. Jean Baptiste High School. Within two
weeks of the first announcements about the groups, two groups were completely subscribed,
and a third was being planned for early 2016. We continue to provide bereavement support
for adults, teens, and young children at our Bronx hospital and in Brooklyn, at St. Joseph High
School. In 2015, 84 children and teens attended Calvary’s Camp Compass®, our week-long
bereavement camp, held on the beautiful campus of Kingsborough Community College. All
bereavement support, including camp, is provided free of charge, in keeping with Calvary’s core
mission of compassion and non-abandonment.
On November 11, 2015, Calvary launched a special initiative to restore a historic Torah
that is on permanent loan to the Hospital from the Memorial Scrolls Trust of London. Our Scroll,
No. 515, dates from 1880, and is one of more than 1,560 that were rescued by the Trust
following the Holocaust. More than 120 people attended the launch event, held at the 92nd
Street Y in Manhattan. We are grateful to Fund Director Jim O’Hara, who is the Y’s Chief
Financial Officer, for helping us secure this venue.
At the event, Rabbi Moshe Druin of Sofer On Site, the company that is restoring the Torah,
explained its significance and unique characteristics. Calvary’s Executive Medical Director,
Michael J. Brescia, MD, wrote the first letter, to officially begin the year-long restoration project.
The following evening, Rabbi Rachmiel Rothberger, Calvary’s Jewish Community
Liaison, presented a lecture to deacons and seminarians at St. Joseph’s
Seminary (Dunwoodie) in Yonkers.

Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan attended a reception before the lecture, to view the Torah
and learn about its provenance.
This initiative was made possible by a grant of $50,000 from the Charles R. and Winifred
R. Weber Foundation, through the good offices of Professional Advisors Council member Daniel
J. McSwiggan, Esq. An additional $54,000 has been raised to date, in support of this project.
2015 Leadership Gifts
Among the notable gifts Calvary received in 2015 were:
$190,000from the RTS Foundation, for Calvary’s intensive, outstanding wound care for people
with advanced cancer, diabetes, and other illnesses.
$150,000from the Pat Cairo Family Foundation, for the care of our patients and families.
This gift brings total giving of the Pat Cairo Family Foundation to $1,790,000.
$100,000from Jack and Susan Rudin, for programs of care at The Dawn Greene Hospice.
Guests at the Hospital’s Annual Donor
Appreciation Reception at the New York
Botanical Garden.
Calvary’s direct communications program is an important part of our overall external relations
and it continues to support Calvary’s core mission. Special thanks to the thousands of donors
that continue to contribute every year.
Since last year we’ve experienced renewed growth in The Storrs Society, now with more than 450
members. The Storrs Society was named in honor of Calvary’s esteemed founder, Annie Blount Storrs.
In 2015, we received a total of $2,578,962, from 46 estates. Bequests provide the Hospital
with crucial support and reflect the foresight and thoughtfulness of numerous patients, families
and friends. It is a credit to the hard work of our Professional Advisors Council, a group of trusts
and estates specialists (see list, page 16), who help us identify individuals for whom Calvary is
the right place for them to leave a legacy.
As noted above, chairmanship of the PAC passed to Michael J.A. Smith, from Gerald C.
Tobin, Esq., who had served in that capacity for more than 13 years. Mr. Tobin continues as
a member of the PAC, and also Vice Chair of the Calvary Fund.
The bequests we receive every year enable us to maintain the high standards
that define Calvary’s exceptional palliative care.

To formally recognize those who have informed us of a bequest or other gift to Calvary as part of
their estate planning, the Hospital has established the Society of 1899. Individuals can join the Society
of 1899 in a number of ways, including leaving a bequest in a will and making other planned and
deferred gifts. As of December 31, the Society of 1899 had a total of 204 members (see list, below).
Calvary’s Annual Donor Appreciation Reception took place at the New York Botanical Garden
on May 12. More than 300 guests toured the Conservatory and Garden grounds and enjoyed
a cocktail reception.
Approximately 400 people attended Calvary’s 32nd Annual Awards Gala, held at The Pierre on
May 28. The event raised nearly $900,000. Radio host John R. Gambling, Master of Ceremonies,
introduced Rabbi Jeffrey J. Sirkman, who gave a beautiful invocation, and welcomed Mr. Calamari to
the podium. Rabbi Sirkman’s wife, Susan, was cared for at Calvary in 2015. Dr. Fahey also welcomed
guests, in his role as Chairman of the Board of Calvary Hospital. Mr. Hernandez presented the
Calvary Medal to Curtis Arledge, Vice Chairman and CEO, Investment Management, of BNY Mellon.
Mr. Arledge spoke movingly of his family’s experience with Calvary’s special care. The evening
included a performance by Tony Award Nominee Sherie Rene Scott.
We are deeply grateful to the Awards Gala Co-Chairs, Journal Co-Chairs, and the Calvary
Fund and Calvary Hospital Boards for their tireless efforts in making this event a great success.
Calvary’s 27th Annual Golf & Tennis Classic drew more than 300 participants on August 3.
As they enjoyed beautiful weather and the challenging Brae Burn and Century golf courses and
tennis courts, participants raised more than $250,000 for the Hospital’s programs of care. The
event honors the memory of former Fund Board Chairman and Hospital Board Member Dennis
E. Berberich. Proceeds from the tennis portion of the outing were donated to the Dennis E.
Berberich Cancer Care Technician Scholarship Fund. The 2015 recipient was Alberta Yirenkyi.
We are grateful to our longstanding friends, as well as those who joined us for the first time
last year, in endorsing and supporting Calvary care – care that means compassion, respect for
the dignity of every patient, and non-abandonment of patients and families.
At Calvary’s 32nd Annual Awards Gala,
Curtis Arledge received The Calvary Medal.
