Just who is Joshua Harry?

Joshua Harry was a boy with Downs Syndrome who, due to a virus leading to a severe respiratory infection, lived until just 18 months of age.

Despite Joshua’s short time in this world, he hugely impacted many people, and left an awesome legacy. Naturally, his parents and siblings were utterly devastated when Joshua passed away. But each one of them came to a point of resolution, followed by gratitude, for the immense privilege of knowing Joshua.

Every one of the family testifies that Joshua changed the course of their own life in remarkable ways. Joshua Harry Health Care originated from the enormous impact that Joshua had on his older brother Cliff.

“I know my lifelong passion and vocation in improving the lives of others is simply related to the way God designed me. Yet having Josh in my life during my developmental years, has definitely reinforced this desire and direction in an incredibly dynamic way”.
