Chaplaincy
Harrison’s pastoral care for everyone
Every person has emotional needs; that includes people with cancer. Maybe you just want someone to listen to your concerns. For many, their faith or spirituality gives comfort during cancer’s challenges. Harrison’s pastoral care is for everyone—our chaplains respect all beliefs.
The pastoral team provides compassionate emotional, religious, and spiritual support to you and your family. That is our commitment. We’re also happy to contact a member of your faith.
