Through domains, clerics get at least once per day spells such as teleport, fly, prismatic wall, power word blindness, stoneskin, etc. in addition to their clerical magic.While clerics CAN heal, they needn't be tied to it; you might even come to a pre-existing agreement with your party that they need to bring their own healing to the table, whether a wand you'll generous use on their behalf, or their own potions. Then, your healing solely becomes one of healing only during combat, in emergencies, and not to be the "free font" during rest times. The cleric has far more important duties like bless, prayer, augury, bull's strength, entropic shield, divine power, righteous might, inflict wounds, speak with dead, water walk, water breathing, planar ally, etc. on up to control spells such as blade barrier, storm of vengance, holy word, fire storm, and earthquake.I played a Cleric/fighter a couple of years back (about a 3:1 level split) and my focus was not healing, and the party did not ask it to be; my focus was on buffing up and splitting people in half with a greataxe, which I was VERY, VERY good at. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />A cleric is only as limited as the imagination of its player (same as any class, I suppose).</blockquote>
