RESILIENCE Calvary Hospital Annual Report THE MISSION OF CALVARY HOSPITAL is to care for the medical, emotional and spiritual needs of our adult patients with advanced cancer and other life-limiting illnesses. It is the only fully accredited acute care hospital in the U.S. devoted exclusively to the palliative care of adult patients.

The one word that we Entering the second year of the pandemic, Calvary is more committed than ever to safety. feel best describes Calvary’s Here’s what we’re doing now to keep us all safe: • Screen every employee and visitor at our Bronx and Brooklyn campuses; experience: RESILIENCE. • Test all new patients for COVID-19 without any history of the virus in the past 90 days; • Provide our inpatient and Calvary@Home staff with enough PPE to safely care for patients; • Offer bereavement support groups remotely for all children, teens and adults; • To date, Calvary has administered 5,301 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, benefiting 2,683 employees and people from the community. In the more than three decades that we have each been affiliated with this great hospital, we have never witnessed more integrity, dedication, soul and sheer emotional strength than we did during this past year. 2 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD AND PRESIDENT But what really helped us get through this pandemic were donors who were just as resilient. Donors like you provided Calvary with donations such as: 2,100 meals; 6,920 masks, 610 goggles and face shields; and 1,670 gowns and pairs of disposable gloves. We could go on and on. Your support was essential to making sure that the quality of patient care did not suffer. In an unprecedented year in which many non-profits were struggling, Calvary was able to raise more than $10.4 million – more than what we typically raise without a global pandemic to deal with! There are no words to describe our gratitude for your support during this time. We look forward to the day when life will get back to normal at Calvary. But until then, we have already begun working on several exciting initiatives: • A $1 million grant from the Mother Cabrini Foundation will allow us to launch the Thomas J. Fahey, Jr., MD (left) and Frank A. Calamari (right) Navigator Program. This will allow us to introduce palliative care earlier in people’s lives while they’re still seeking curative measures. • The launch of our CalvaryCare ® initiative, our $100 million capital campaign, will strengthen the Hospital for decades to come. We invite you to be part of these new initiatives. Thomas J. Fahey, Jr., MD Chairman, Calvary Hospital Board of Directors Until COVID-19 is no longer the healthcare crisis we’ve experienced, we are confident that our entire staff will continue rising to the challenge. We are very grateful for the generous support of our Hospital and Fund Boards, donors and volunteers, to our unwavering mission of caring for adults at the end of life. Frank A. Calamari Thank you for all that you have done and all that you will do for Calvary in the future.

    The Long Red Thread How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in Us House of Representatives Elections, 1964

    THE LONG RED THREAD HOW DEMOCRATIC DOMINANCE GAVE WAY TO REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTIONS, 1964-2018 by Kyle Kondik A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland September 2019 © 2019 Kyle Kondik All Rights Reserved Abstract This history of U.S. House elections from 1964-2018 examines how Democratic dominance in the House prior to 1994 gave way to a Republican advantage in the years following the GOP takeover. Nationalization, partisan realignment, and the reapportionment and redistricting of House seats all contributed to a House where Republicans do not necessarily always dominate, but in which they have had an edge more often than not. This work explores each House election cycle in the time period covered and also surveys academic and journalistic literature to identify key trends and takeaways from more than a half-century of U.S. House election results in the one person, one vote era.

The call to live in solidarity with our brothers and sisters throughout the world is the heart of Jesus’ question to all people of good will. The concerns surrounding issues of the neighbor and stranger in our country have touched our hearts and consciences. These issues strike at the heart of who we are as Americans and Christians and urge us to be involved in ways that put shared biblical values into practice. We share the call of the gospel and you, our faithful benefactors, share with us the challenge presented by our international Ursuline community. During this year we have experienced the global reality of our Ursuline family which extends for us the awareness of neighbor and we have responded.

  • The Suburbanization of the Democratic Party, 1992–2018

    The Suburbanization of the Democratic Party, 1992–2018

    The Suburbanization of the Democratic Party, 1992–2018 David A. Hopkins Boston College [email protected] Paper presented at the Annual Meetings of the American Political Science Association, Washington, DC, August 29, 2019. 1 Abstract Over the past three decades, the Democratic Party has become mostly suburban in both the residence of party supporters in the mass public and the composition of its congressional caucus. This transformation reflects migration patterns among American citizens, partisan shifts among some suburban voters, and a serious relative decline over time in the party’s rural strength. The trend of suburbanization has made the party’s elected officials more ideologically unified, especially on cultural issues, but it also works to preclude the partywide adoption of an ambitious left-wing economic agenda. Suburbanization has occurred alongside a growth in the racial heterogeneity of the Democratic mass membership and elite leadership alike, encouraged by the demographic diversification of American suburbs. Democratic suburban growth has been especially concentrated in the nation’s largest metropolitan areas, reflecting the combined presence of both relatively liberal whites (across education levels) and substantial minority populations, but suburbs elsewhere remain decidedly, even increasingly, Republican in their collective partisan alignment. Rather than stimulating a broad national pro-Democratic backlash across suburban communities in general, as is sometimes suggested by political observers, the election of Donald Trump has instead further magnified this existing divergence—leaving American suburbia, like the nation itself, closely and deeply divided between the two major parties. Introduction Political analysts, including academics, are fond of describing the current era of American politics as primarily distinguished by deep and stable partisan loyalties.
