About Harvey

Harvey is the only doctor in Stardew Valley, and he works at the only clinic in the town. He lives in a room above the clinic, beside Pierre’s General Store. 

He is a friendly character who loves to help people, especially when they are sick. Harvey is also a bachelor, one of the oldest at Pelican Town, which means players can try to pursue a romantic relationship with him.

His birthday is on the 14th of Winter.
