About Errera Community Care Center
Over the past two decades, through a steady process of program modification and development, VA Connecticut’s Errera Community Care Center (“ECCC”) has evolved into one of the leading centers of innovation in recovery and psychosocial rehabilitation in the integration of the psychosocial and biomedical approaches. ECCC serves veterans struggling with mental illness and/or substance abuse disorders, homelessness, and/or aging. At the ECCC, a team of multidisciplinary mental health professionals come together to provide an array of community-based rehabilitative programs including day and crisis intervention programs, vocational programs, housing programs (ranging from subsidized to non-subsidized, supported to non-supported), homeless outreach and advocacy, case management programs, and wellness activities including a full gym.
Dr. Paul Errera The Errera Community Care Center is named after Dr. Paul Errera, M.D. who gave a lifetime of outstanding service to our country. Dr. Errera began his career with the VA as a first year resident in psychiatry at the West Haven, Connecticut VA Medical Center. His brilliant career came full circle when he returned to the VA in West Haven, at the Errera Community Care Center (ECCC), appropriately named in his honor.
