The Health Care Facility is licensed by the CT Department of Public Health and Addiction Services as a Chronic Disease Hospital.

  • Submit an application in advance
  • Submit a report of medical history and physical examination

At times, admission may be deferred until an appropriate bed is available.

      

Kayaking Project

The kayaking project was founded due to the need to support veterans with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Being supportive of a non-drug-related treatment is always preferred, as it supports the goals of the Elk’s Drug Prevention Program, as well as the Emblem Club’s Drug Awareness Committee’s ongoing projects, according to project’s staff.  For more information contact Barbara Miller.
