Through this collaboration, the Comprehensive Recovery Center (CRC), located at our ParkCare Pavilion, will provide CHOICE clients with a range of behavioral health and addiction recovery services. These include individual and group counseling, anger management, treatment for co-occurring disorders, harm-reduction services, gambling addiction treatment, and more.

Dr. Raffaele Milizia, St. John’s Vice President of Clinical Operations and Assistant Vice President of Medical Affairs, and Lynn Kolb, Chief Operating Officer of CHOICE of NY, spoke about the collaboration and the meaningful benefits it will bring to individuals and families throughout our community.

We were also pleased to welcome Commissioner Michael Orth and members of the Westchester County Department of Community Mental Health, along with our outstanding Behavioral Health Services leadership from CRC, Archway, and Greenburgh Addiction Treatment Services.

Congratulations—and thank you—to everyone whose dedication and hard work made this important partnership possible!
