“Grief is not a problem to be solved or a journey to be rushed. It is love learning to live in a changed world. With compassionate support, anyone who is grieving can find space for their sorrow, connection in their loneliness, and hope as they move forward.” —Joanne Castellanos, MA, LMHC, FT, Director of Bereavement Services, Calvary Hospital. On this National Grief Awareness Day, Calvary reminds you that you do not have to carry grief alone. Our Bereavement Department provides compassionate care and support for adults, children, and families as they navigate life after loss. Learn more and access care:

What an inspiring day for the Calvary community! Calvary’s 38th Annual Golf & Tennis Classic brought friends and supporters together at Brae Burn Country Club for a memorable day of camaraderie, friendly competition, and compassion, all in support of our patients and families. Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our sponsors, participants, committee members, and guests, the 2026 Classic raised a record setting $400,000! These vital funds will strengthen Calvary’s programs and services, including therapeutic care, bereavement support and CampCompass®, our annual camp for grieving children. Another inspiring moment was the presentation of the Dennis E. Berberich Scholarship to Calvary Care Technician Wendy Moncada. Awarded annually to a member of Calvary’s nursing team pursuing an education to become a registered nurse, the scholarship reflects the Berberich family’s enduring commitment to exceptional care and belief in Calvary’s people. Congratulations, We are so proud of you, Wendy! We are deeply grateful to everyone who made this year’s Classic a tremendous success and helped fulfill our mission of bringing more compassion to more people in more places.

Every boat told a personal story and no boat traveled alone.
At Calvary’s CampCompass® this month, campers displayed their decorated rowboats together as a fleet. Each vessel was unique, reflecting one child’s memories, emotions, and journey after loss. Together, the boats reminded everyone that while grief was deeply individual, healing also happened through connection. With caring peers, trained counselors, community supporters, and dedicated volunteers beside them, children discovered that other kids were navigating difficult waters too. Established by Calvary in 1997 and with contributions from generous donors, CampCompass® has brought grieving children and teens together each summer to remember, connect, have fun, and heal.

A Remarkable Mother-Daughter DAISY Distinction:
Calvary Hospital congratulates Margaret Lehane, MSN, RN, CHPN, Calvary Hospital’s Director of Nursing, and her daughter, Ciara Hourican, on the exceptional achievement of both receiving DAISY recognition in the same week — in different states!
Margaret was honored with the DAISY Nurse Leader Award for her compassionate leadership and commitment to nursing excellence. Ciara, a senior nursing student at the University of North Georgia, was recognized for her patient advocacy, kindness, and empathy.
It was especially meaningful that Margaret was able to acknowledge Ciara’s formal entry into the nursing profession by pinning Ciara during her graduation ceremony.
An extraordinary mother-daughter achievement and a shared legacy of compassionate nursing!
The DAISY Award was established by the family of J. Patrick Barnes to recognize extraordinary nurses and nursing leaders. The program is now celebrated by healthcare organizations and nursing schools around the world. Learn more at DAISYFoundation.org.

As our nation marks 250 years since the Declaration of Independence, this Fourth of July reminds us not only of the freedom we cherish, but also of the interdependence that strengthens us as a community.
At Calvary Hospital, we see every day how much family, friendship, compassion, and neighborly care matter in moments when people need comfort, dignity, and support.
We extend our sincere gratitude to every caregiver — healthcare professionals, family members, friends, and neighbors — who helps ensure that the people they care for feel supported, loved, honored, and never alone.
From all of us at Calvary Hospital, we wish you and your family a safe, meaningful, and peaceful Independence Day. Please take care in the extreme heat and check on those who may need extra support.

Today, we join our community in deep reflection and celebration this Juneteenth. Calvary’s foundation is built upon treating every patient and family with unconditional compassion and honoring the sacred dignity of every life we touch. Juneteenth reminds us of the enduring strength of the Black and African American community and the vital importance of equity, respect, and non-abandonment in healthcare. We are proud to extend our unique healing mission -- addressing the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of people -- without regard to race, religion, or background. Today, we reaffirm our 127-year-old mission and our commitment to dignity and compassion for everyone.

At Calvary Hospital’s Annual Donor Appreciation Event at Lyndhurst Mansion, we had the privilege of celebrating the extraordinary generosity of our donors and thanking them for the compassion, trust, and commitment they bring to our mission. As President Michael J. Fosina shared, “Institutions may carry a mission forward, but they don’t begin it, sustain it, or renew it on their own. People do that. Donors do that.” We are deeply grateful to the supporters whose partnership helps ensure that every patient and family entrusted to Calvary’s care experiences dignity, comfort, and compassion. Thank you for helping us continue this mission, today and for generations to come.

Today marks a foundational milestone in American healthcare. Exactly 127 years ago, Annie Blount Storrs established The American House of Calvary in lower Manhattan. Inspired by Jeanne Garnier’s mid-19th-century model of care in Lyon, France, Storrs built a revolutionary sanctuary of comfort, compassion, and dignity. She and the pioneering Women of Calvary did not just open a home; they defined the very framework of modern palliative care in America. From those humble 1899 roots grew Calvary Hospital and Calvary Hospice. We honor Annie Blount Storrs not just as history, but as our daily standard. Her original promise of non-abandonment remains the exact baseline for how we evolve, innovate, and care for patients into tomorrow.
This is an article from The New York Tribune, from June 13, 1899, on the opening of Calvary.

This Memorial Day, Calvary remembers the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. As a community shaped by care, compassion, commitment, dignity, and non-abandonment, we hold this day with solemn gratitude. We also recognize the patients, families, and staff whose lives have been touched by military service, including those who have served, those who continue to serve, and those who carry the memory of loved ones who did not return home. Today, we honor the fallen by remembering their sacrifice and by remaining faithful to the people entrusted to our care.
