Staff and Affiliations 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. Thomas J. Fahey, Jr., MD (left) and Frank A.

We welcomed Timothy P. Barr as Executive Vice President of the Calvary Fund to spearhead all of the Hospital’s fundraising and external communications. He joins us after a long tenure at St. Joseph’s Healthcare System in New Jersey. Each year, we put a lot of thought and energy into selecting an appropriate theme for the Annual Report.

We appreciate the privilege of caring for people at the most difficult time of their lives. We are well aware we have one chance to do this right. 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, Between Hope and Faith. For example, we are working with various partners to educate the observant Jewish community about how they can receive excellent end-of-life care in full accordance with Jewish law. • A fter months of deliberation, we made the difficult decision to close the Center for Curative and Palliative Wound Care Thomas J. Fahey, Jr., MD Frank A. Calamari Chairman,Calvary Hospital Board President and Chief Executive Officer in February 2016. This service will no longer be available to outpatients but will continue to be offered to our inpatients. 1 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. 1 3 2 2 We are much more than just a The Inpatient Experience place where we provide medical Calvary cares for patients at our to decorate patients’ rooms with become inpatients at Calvary care.

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.

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 Michael J. Brescia, MD one listens carefully on a quiet night, you could still hear God laughing at my heroic plans which were never to be. A long grueling process began which resulted in my abandonment of all the expert skills in Nephrology, including biopsy. The immersion of all the talents were used caring for the At present, some of our patients actually are transferred to Calvary Hospital from other nations (e.g., Israel, Palestine, etc.). In spite of this program, a growing culture of death is spreading across our nation to legalize killing our patients. Indeed, in abandoned and suffering patients that came to our hospital. some nations, one only need health professionals to make the One must recall that during this period of time, special determination that life should end.

Executive Medical Director 11 M E S S A G E F R O M T H E C A LVA R Y F U N D C H A I R M A N 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.

R E P O R T 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.

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. Anne M.

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. Susan Whittemore Laura G. & Stanley J.
