The New York Province Health Care Center at Murray-Weigel Hall

Companionship, Competence and Compassion

Many of the Jesuit residents at Murray-Weigel Hall joined the Jesuits when they were still teenagers. They have known each other for forty, fifty or even sixty years. Their companionship now in their later years is a comfort to them. Those with whom and to whom they ministered are frequent visitors who bring with them fond memories and warm friendship.

Whether Jesuits are long-term residents or just recuperating for a while before returning home, they all discover at Murray-Weigel Hall a level of medical, physical, emotional and spiritual care that is very professional. Through the kind generosity of Province benefactors, the Center can provide the therapeutic facilities needed for health and comfort. The adjacent campus of Fordham University affords beautiful and ample grounds for walking as well as the very valuable resource of a university library.

A significant dimension of the high quality care available to Jesuits at the New York Province Health Care Center is the spiritual direction and counseling that are provided by the Center Chaplain, Fr. William Scanlon, SJ. His priestly insight and support offers his Jesuit brothers a sure sign of the compassion of the Lord to whom they long ago vowed their lives.

The professional staff of the Health Care Center consists of doctors, nurses and therapists of the highest caliber. Fr. James Yannarell, SJ, is our fulltime Province Coordinator of Health Care. He serves as a liaison to men around the Province and informs Father Provincial as to each one’s needs. Trained staff and generous volunteers help ensure twenty- four hour-a-day patient care.
