Cancer Practitioners – Rev. Percy McCray

This video features Reverend Percy McCray, Director of Pastoral Care & Social Services at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) at Midwestern Regional Medical Center. Rev. McCray discusses his interaction with patients who come to him for spiritual counseling:

"Every human being wants to be loved. Every human being wants to be valued. Every human being wants to be respected, and every human being wants to be forgiven.

If you can figure out a way to connect with people on those core basic ideas, then you have an opportunity to touch parts of them that may not necessarily have a relationship with any religious orientation, but with their humanity. And then you give them the ability to seek out their own direction, support that direction of what they believe religiously or spiritually, and allow them the right to practice that.

The key to ministering to cancer patients is not really your religious or spiritual orientation as much as finding common ground to meet and greet and begin to understand who they are as a human being—their hurts, their pains, their trials, their tribulations."

Real Patients. Real Stories. Real Hope.

Do these videos feature real cancer patients?

Yes, the videos in this section feature real CTCA survivors with real stories to tell. These are not actors. They are cancer patients who came to CTCA and emerged as survivors. These stories are not scripted. They are personal accounts of people who found hope, and a voice, at CTCA. This is what they have to say, in their own words...

Why are some, not all, cancer types listed?

At CTCA, we treat individuals with a variety of cancer types. However, all of our survivors are not on film. If you don't see a survivor with the cancer type you're looking for, it only means we do not have a video at this time.

Keep in mind, we are continuously adding videos to this section. If you don't see the one you're looking for today, visit us again, or let us know how we can improve.
