Medical Center Director, James J. Peters Veterans Affairs Medical Center
President and CEO, Calvary Hospital
The James J. Peters Veterans Affairs Medical Center has served military veterans for over 75 years, making it New York City’s oldest VA facility. Dr. Erik Langhoff has since 2012 served as the director of the medical center, which provides care to more than 35,000 veterans. Langhoff has been a part of the VA for more than 17 years, holding multiple leadership positions over the course of his career. Under his direction, the James J. Peters Veterans Affairs Medical Center has been able to provide free temporary housing the family members of veterans being treated there with the help of the Fisher House Foundation and the facility earned the “Leader in LGBT Healthcare Equality” designation from the Human Rights Campaign.
Since its humble beginnings in 1899, when its staff tended to destitute women in their own homes, Calvary Hospital has grown and now specializes in acute care for adult patients with advanced cancer and other terminal illnesses. The hospital, which has a Bronx campus with 200 beds, tends to a patient’s medical, emotional and spiritual needs and is known for its palliative care. Frank Calamari, the hospital’s president and CEO, oversees the medical center’s funding and patient services. Under Calamari’s leadership, the Calvary Fund in 2016 cared for more than patients and families, raised nearly $8 million and continued its expansion around the city with the Dawn Greene Hospice at Mary Manning Walsh Home.
Congratulations to the 2017 Bronx InfluentIals and our own President, Rear Adm. Michael Alfultis.
