Dr. Haney has always had a heart for Christian Care/Fellowship Square Phoenix and felt the Lord call him out of retirement to be the Chaplain for this wonderful organization. He feels it is his home away from home.

Dr. Haney’s favorite quote is: “As long as you can still look up, You still have HOPE!”
